A company uses a process costing system and the weighted average method for inventory costs. The following information is available regarding direct labor for the current year: Ending Work in Process $\quad$ $\quad$ 5,300 units, $50 \%$ complete Units completed and transferred to finished goods 28,700 units Direct labor costs during the year $\quad$ $\quad$$\$ 199,300$ Calculate the average cost per equivalent unit for direct labor (round to the nearest cent).

If Department R uses $60,000 of direct materials and Department S uses $15,000 of direct materials, the following journal entry would be recorded by the process costing system: $\begin{array}{l}\text { Work in Process Inventory, Department R } & 60,000 \\\text { Work in Process Inventory, Department S } & 15,000\\\text { Raw Materials Inventory }&&75,000\end{array}$
