The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning inventory were: Cost Percent Complete Materials costs $ 7,500 65% Conversion costs $ 8,600 45% A total of 10,100 units were started and 7,700 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month: Cost Materials costs $ 127,300 Conversion costs $ 208,800 The ending inventory was 50% complete with respect to materials and 35% complete with respect to conversion costs. What are the equivalent units for conversion costs for the month in the first processing department

Answer 1

Answer:

$23.35

Explanation:

Units completed and transferred out = 7,700

WIP, Ending = 2,200 + 10,100 - 7,700 = 4,600. Conversion = 4,600*35% = 1,610

Equivalent unit of production = Units completed and transferred out + Conversion

Equivalent unit of production = 7,700 + 1,610

Equivalent unit of production = 9,310

Cost per equivalent unit = $8,600 + $208,800 / 9,310 units

Cost per equivalent unit = $217,400 / 9,310 units

Cost per equivalent unit = $23.351235231

Cost per equivalent unit = $23.35
