What is the conversion cost per equivalent unit? A) $12.62 B) $12.05 C) $12.50 D) $12.17

Answer 1

32) Equivalent unit = 11000+(2000*80%) = 12600

Cost per equivalent unit of material = (28800+198000)/12600 = 18

So answer is c) $18.00

33) Equivalent unit = 40000+3000 = 43000

Cost per equivalent unit of material = 55040/43000 = 1.28

So answer is a) $1.28

34) Equivalent unit = 54000+(2500*20%) = 54500

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = (30430+650820)/54500 = 12.50

So answer is c) $12.50
