Alvis Construction Supply Company has a department that manufactures wood trusses (wood frames used in the construction
industry). The following information is for the production of these trusses for the month of February:
Work-in-process inventory, February 1
Direct materiale: 100% complete

Units completed during February and transferred out
Work-in-process inventory, February 29
Direct materials: 100% complete
Conversion: 40% complete

Direct materials
Conversion
Required
Using the FIFO method, calculate the following:
1-a. Cost per EU
1-b. Cost of goods completed and transferred out
1-c. Costs remaining in the WIP Inventory account
The weighted-average cost per equivalent unit
3,100 trusses
1-a. Costs per equivalent unit. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
1-b. Cost of goods completed and transferred out. (Do no round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the
nearest whole dollar.)
Direct Materials
$ 10,580
$ 15,358
1-c. Costs remaining in the Work-in-Process Inventory account. (Do no round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer
to the nearest whole dollar.)
Conversion
18,100 trusses
17,100 trusses
2. Assume that you are the company's controller. The production department's February equivalent unit cost is higher than expected. If
the manager of the first department asks you to do a favor by increasing the ending inventory completion percentage from 40 to
60% to lower the unit costs, how much would unit cost be affected by this request? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
