South River Chemical manufactures a product called Zbek. Direct Materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion activity occurs uniformly throughout production. The beginning work-in-process inventory is 60% complete with respect to conversion; the ending inventory work-in-process inventory is 20% complete. The following data pertain to May:

Compute the following amounts:
1. Using the weighted-average method of process costing, determine the equivalent units for direct material and conversion.
2. What is the cost per unit if direct materials and conversion activity?
3. Determine the cost of the goods completed and transferred during May.
4. Determine the cost of the ending work-in-process on May 31
