Grievous Corporation is a large plastic manufacturing company that manufactures plastic armor for storm troopers. Grievous uses a Process Cost system: Materials are added evenly throughout the process, and Conversion costs are uniformly incurred throughout the manufacturing process. Spoilage is detected only at the end of the process.

The following information is available for Grievous Corporation at the beginning of November:

                                                     Physical                 Direct                  Conversion

                                                                   Units                    Materials                Costs

1. Account for flow of Units
2. Calculate Equivalent Units( EU)
3. Summarize Total costs
4. Calculate Cost per EU
5. Allocate Total Costs to F/G/ WIP/ Abnormal Spoilage

Question 2: Allocate the costs for the month of November, using the weighted-average method of Process Costing.
