Passion 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. Passion employs the weighted-average method for

^x Degree of completion: direct materials, 100%; conversion costs, 60%.
^y Degree of completion: direct materials, 100%; conversion costs, 70%.
Required:
- Compute equivalent units in the mixing department, for each cost category?
- Summarize total mixing department costs for October 2020 for each cost category, and calculate the cost per equivalent unit?
- Assign total costs to units completed and transferred out and to units in ending work in process?
- By reference to the above data: How does process costing differ from
job costing , and in what types of industries is process costing typically used?

- Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that isprocessed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, directmaterials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additionaldirect materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs areincurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. Thefollowing table summarizes the production activity and costs for February: Molding AssemblyBeginning inventories: Physical units 10,000 8,000 Costs: Transferred in — $ 45,400 Direct materials $22,000 — Conversion costs $13,800 $ 16,700Current production: Units started 25,000 ?

- Devereaux Cycles makes three models of scooter: Commuter, Sport, and X-treme. The scooters are produced in four departments: Assembly, Detailing, Customization, and Packaging. All three models are started in Assembly, where all materials are assembled. The Commuter is then sent to Packaging, where it is packaged and transferred to finished goods inventory. The Sport is then transferred to Detailing. Once the detailing process is completed, the Sport models are transferred to Packaging and then finished goods. The X- Treme model is assembled and then transferred to Customization, and then Packaging. When packaged, it is transferred to finished goods. Data for February are shown in the following table. Conversion costs are allocated based on the number of units processed in each department. No work-in-process inventories are maintained in any department.

There are three processing departments Mixing, Refining, and Packaging. On January 1, the first department-Mixing-had no beginning inventory. During January, 52,000 fl. oz. of chemicals were started in production. Of these, 36,000 fl. oz. were completed and 16,000 fl. oz. remained in process. In the Mixing Department, all direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process, and conversion costs are applied evenly throughout the process. The weighted average method is used. At the end of the month, Alchemy calculated equivalent units of production. The ending inventory in the Mixing Department was 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. With respect to direct materials, what is the number of equivalent units of production in the ending inventory?
