Costs incurred during June
Direct materials $ 129,600
Conversion costs

Required:

1. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for both the weighted-average and FIFO methods. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Weighted average cost/EU FIFO cost/EU
Direct Materials
Conversion
Total Costs

I got the weighted average cost/EU right, but both of the FIFO cost/EU are wrong. The answer I got are below. Once again, the weighted cost/EU numbers are right, but the FIFO cost/EU are wrong. Thanks.

Weighted average cost/EU FIFO cost/EU
Direct Materials 2.494 1.906
Conversion 4.900 3.916
Total Costs 7.394

5.822
