Answer:

the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the month is $ 6.256 (round off to three decimal places)

Explanation:

The Concept of Equivalent units measures the number of units of output in terms of percentage completion of a certain input element.

In this question we are required to find the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs.

Step 1 Find the Total conversion costs for the period.

Conversion cost in this beginning work in process inventory $19,200

Conversion costs incurred in the during the month $383,060

Total conversion costs for the period $402,260

Step 2 Find the Total Equivalent units

Hint : First find the Units Completed

Units Completed = 10000+6000-19000

= 51,000

Total Equivalent units

Units Completed ( 51,000 × 100 %) = 51,000

Closing Work In progress ( 19,000 × 70 %) =13,300

Total Equivalent units =64,300

Step 3 Find cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs

cost per equivalent unit = Total conversion costs / Total Equivalent units

= $402,260 / 64,300

= $ 6.256 (round off to three decimal places)

Answer:

The role of project managers is vital for the succcess or failure of project.

Explanation:

The success of projects concentrates on developing key business metrics. However, sometimes development programs are still unsuccessful. There are a number of reasons why these initiatives fail such as lack of funding, weak measurements, lack of coordination among team members, and decisions based on speculations instead of evidence and facts. Such types of issues make it much more difficult for project managers to establish credibility for future projects. Ultimately, the accomplishment or effectiveness of the strategy concentrates entirely on the shoulders of the project manager, and he or she is held responsible for the final outcome.
