Answer 1

Answer: $65000

Explanation:

For the month of April, the conversion cost that was incurred would be calculated as:

Beginning inventory of Direct Materials = $18000

Add: Purchase = $32000

Total cost of Direct Materials available = $50000

Less: Ending inventory of Direct Material = $15000

Therefore, Direct material used:

= $50000 - $15000 = $35000

Add: Direct labor = $30000

Conversion cost incurred = $35000 + $30000 = $65000
