Question

Data:

1.

Fill in the time line for the Drying Department's process.

2.

Use the time line to compute the number of equivalent units of work performed by the Drying Department during the period, the cost per equivalent unit, and the total costs to account for.

3.

Assign total costs to (a) units completed and transferred to the assembly operation and (b) units in the Drying Department's ending work in process inventory.

units completed and transferred to the assembly operation and

(b)

units in the Drying Department's ending work in process inventory. (Enter quantities first, then the cost per equivalent unit amounts in the same order as calculated in the preceding step. Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
