Assume that the company uses the weighted average method of accounting for units and costs. Determine the equivalent units for May for the first process. Materials Conversion Equivalent units of production 2. Compute the costs per equivalent unit for May for the first process. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Materials Conversion Cost per equivalent unit 3. Determine the total cost of ending work in process inventory and the total cost of units transferred to the next process in May. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.) Total Cost of ending work in process inventory Cost of units completed and transferred out
