Question

Caricolor Limited operates a paint manufacturing plant, housing two distinct departments: the
mixing department and the quality control department. The paint undergoes sequential
processing in both of these departments.
The company's process-costing system is structured around two primary cost categories:
direct materials and conversion costs. Direct materials are introduced at the initial stages of
the process, while conversion costs are gradually incurred throughout the process. After
completion of the mixing department's tasks on the paint, the product is promptly forwarded
to the quality control department. Caricolor employs the weighted-average method for
process costing to calculate its manufacturing costs.
Data for the mixing department for October 2020 are as follows:

Required:

1. Compute equivalent units in the mixing department, for each cost category? 


2. Summarize total mixing department costs for October 2020 for each cost category, and calculate the cost per equivalent unit?
