Answer 1

Answer:

The total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was: $342,200.

Explanation:

First calculate the Total Cost per Equivalent unit.

Total Cost per Equivalent unit :

Materials      $2.10

Conversion  $3.80

Total             $5.90

Total cost of the units completed and transferred out = Units completed and transferred out × Total Cost per Equivalent unit

                                                                          = 58,000 units × $5.90

                                                                          = $342,200
