During April, the production department of a process manufacturing system completed a number of units of a product and transferred them to finished goods. Of these transferred units, 60,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 240,000 were started and completed in April. April’s beginning inventory units were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 82,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 80% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. The production department had $850,368 of direct materials and $649,296 of conversion costs charged to it during April. Also, its beginning inventory of $167,066 consists of $118,472 of direct materials cost and $48,594 of conversion costs. Using the FIFO method, prepare the direct materials cost and the conversion cost per equivalent unit and assign April’s costs to the department’s output. (Round “Cost per EUP” to 2 decimal places.)

Costs of goods transferred out   1,668,394
Cost of beginning goods in process inventory
 Direct materials $      167,066
Direct labor $      118,472
     285,538
 Costs to complete beginning goods in process
Direct materials      108,712
Direct labor        68,168
     176,879
Total costs to complete Cost of units started and completed this period
Direct materials      543,559
Direct labor      511,257
Total cost of units started and completed   1,054,816
Total costs of goods transferred out   1,231,695
Cost of ending goods in process inventory
Direct materials      198,097
