Answer:
cost per equivalent unit : materials = $1.37 and conversion costs = $1.78.
Explanation:
Please note that we have to use FIFO costing method
<u>Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs</u>
1. Raw Materials
To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 0%) 0
Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%) 179,000
Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 100%) 79,000
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials 258,000
1. Conversion Cost
To finish Beginning Work In Process (54,000 × 65%) 35,100
Started and Completed ((233,000 - 54,000) × 100%) 179,000
Ending Work In Process (79,000 × 15%) 11,850
Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Conversion 225,950
<u>Calculation of the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs.</u>
Unit Cost = Current Period Costs ÷ Equivalent units of production
1. Raw Materials
Unit Cost = $391,440 ÷ 258,000
= $1.37
2. Conversion Cost
Unit Cost = $401,900 ÷ 225,950
= $1.78
