Hint: Complete four steps necessary to prepare a production cost report.
Instructions:
(I) For each plant:
1. Compute the physical units of production.
2. Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs.
3. Determine the unit costs of production.
4. Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.
(II) Prepare the production cost report for Plant 1 for July 2008.
