Answer 1

Answer:

5. $232,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the  total conversion costs transferred out of the Canning Department equals to

= Number of units completed and transferred out × Cost per equivalent unit

= 80,000 units × $2.90

= $232,000

In order to find out the total conversion cost, we simply multiplied the number of units completed and transferred out with the cost per equivalent unit
