Answer 1

Answer:

b.$21,280

Explanation:

beginning : 2,280 x 25%

complete 13,600

1,900 at the end at 20%

equivalent units for conversion:

13,600

-2,280 x 25% = 570

+1,900 x 20% = 380

13410

cost per equivalent units:

total cost: 120,690  + 26,820 = 147,510

cost per EU: $11

total cost ending WIP

1,900 x $9 = 17,100 materials

1,900 x 20% x $11 = 4,180

Total cost 21,280
