Litres			Costs
Beginning work in process inventory	0	litres	Beginning work in process inventory	$0
Started production	14,300	litres	Costs added during November:
Completed and transferred out to			Chicken	21,740
Retort in November	13,600	litres	Cream	4,000
Ending work in process inventory			Green peppers and mushrooms	5,440
(60% of the way through the			Direct labour	11,200
mixing process)	700	litres	Manufacturing overhead	9,830
			Total costs	$52,210

1.	Fill in the time line for the Mixing Department.
2.	Use the time line to help you summarize the flow of physical units and compute the equivalent units. (Hint: Each direct material added at a different point in the production process requires its own equivalent-unit computation.)
3.	Compute the cost per equivalent unit for each cost category.
4.	Compute the total costs of the units (litres):
	a. Completed and transferred out to the Retort Department
	b. In the Mixing Department's ending work in process inventory

Requirement 4. Calculate the total cost of the units

(a)completed and transferred out to the Retort Department and

(b)the units in the Mixing 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. For entries with a zero balance, make sure to enter "0" in the appropriate cell(s). Round your answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
