5.

(a)

No material would be added during May. All material is introduced at the

start of the manufacturing process, and these units were begun in April.

(b)

Since the work-in-process inventory is 45% complete at the end of April,

55% of the conversion would be done in May.

Given that the ending work-in-process inventory is at the 45% stage of

completion, these units would not have reached the 75% point in April where
TH55 is added. Therefore, there would be zero equivalent units with respect to
part TH55 in the ending work-in-process inventory.
