Daosta Inc. uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. The following data concern the operations of the
company's first processing department for a recent month. Required: Using the FIFO method: a. Determine the
equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs. b. Determine the cost per equivalent unit for
materials and conversion costs. c. Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory. d. Determine the cost of
units transferred out of the department during the month.
Work in process, beginning:

Required:
1. Tabulate the conversion costs of each operation, the total units produced,
and the conversion costs per unit for November.
2. Calculate the total costs and the cost per unit of each style of box
produced in November. Be sure to account for all the total costs.
3. Prepare summary journal entries for each operation. For simplicity,
assume that all direct materials are introduced at the beginning of the
cutting operation. Also, assume that all units were transferred to finished
goods when completed and that there was no beginning or ending work
in process. Prepare one summary entry for all conversion costs incurred.
but prepare a separate entry for allocating conversion costs in each
operation.
