1. Craft Manufacturing Company's accounting records reflect the following inventories:
Dec. 31, 2002 Dec. 31, 2001
Raw materials inventory $310,000 $260,000
Work in process inventory 300,000 160,000
Finished goods inventory 190,000 150,000
During 2002, $500,000 of raw materials were purchased, direct labor costs amounted to $600,000, and manufacturing overhead incurred was $480,000.

If Craft Manufacturing Company's cost of goods manufactured for 2002 amounted to $1,390,000, what was cost of goods sold for the year?

2. A process with no beginning work in process, completed and transferred out 15,000 units during a period and had 10,000 units in the ending work in process that were 30% complete. What are the equivalent units of production for the period?

3. A department adds materials at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of July, there was no beginning work in process; 10,000 units were completed and transferred out; and there were 5,000 units in the ending work in process that were 40% complete. During July, $108,000 of materials costs and $94,500 of conversion costs were charged to the department.

In July, what were the unit production costs for materials and conversion costs?
