Answer:
$17.97 per unit
Explanation:
Using weighted average method, Equivalent units = Units that are completed during the period + Equivalent units in process at the end of period.
Equivalent units = 8,500 + 2,000*90%
Equivalent units = 8,500 + 1,800
Equivalent units = 10,300
Cost per equivalent unit for materials = (Beginning costs + Current costs) / Equivalent units
Cost per equivalent unit for materials = ($13,000 + $172,100) / 10,300 units
Cost per equivalent unit for materials = $185,100 / 10,300 units
Cost per equivalent unit for materials = $17.97 per unit
