Pureform, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a recent month for the first department follow:

The beginning work in process inventory was 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in process inventory was 75% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to labor and overhead.

Required:

1. Compute the first department’s equivalent units of production for materials, labor, and overhead for the month.
