157. Bimrose Manufacturing uses process cost accounting and FIFO for its three-department operation. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the Department 1 process, at the halfway point of the Department 2 process, and at the beginning of the Department 3 process.

(b) Determine the equivalent units of production for direct materials, direct labor, and overhead for each department.
