QUESTION 2
Zeus Corporation produces cultured diamonds via a secretive process that grows the diamonds in a vacuum chamber filled with a carbon gas cloud. The diamonds are produced in a single continuous process and Zeus uses the weighted-average process costing method of accounting for production.
The production process requires constant utilization of facilities and equipment, as well as direct labor by skilled technicians. As a result, direct labor and factory overhead are both deemed to be introduced uniformly throughout production.
Zeus Corporation prepared the following "unit reconciliation" for the month of July:

Ending WIP Completion Status:
Materials = 60% and Conversion = 50%
The above beginning work in process inventory had an assigned cost of $4,000,000, divided between direct materials (40%), direct labor (30%), and factory overhead (30%).
Additional costs incurred during July were $9,000,000, divided between direct materials (20%), direct labor (30%), and factory overhead (50%).
Prepare a schedule showing the calculation of cost per equivalent unit.
