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
