Answer:
$2.79 per unit
Explanation:
Given that :
Beginning WIP direct materials $ 38, 000
Beginning WIP conversion costs $20,250
Costs of materials added $ 393, 100
Costs of conversion added $271,125
WIP beginning (50% for conversion) 20,200 units
Units started 120,500 units
Units completed and transferred out 106,700 units
WIP ending (60% for conversion) 34,000 units
We are to find the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials? (Round your final answer to the nearest cent.)
Let first calculate the total equivalent units for direct materials which is:
= Units completed and transferred out + WIP ending
= (106,700 + 34000) units
= 140700 units
The cost per equivalent unit for direct materials = Costs of materials added (a)/ equivalent number of unit (b)
The cost per equivalent unit for direct materials = $ 393, 100/140700 unit
The cost per equivalent unit for direct materials = $2.79 per unit
