Answer:

$12.50

Explanation:

Calculation of Equivalent units of production with respect to conversion costs

Ending Work In Process (2,500 × 20%)                                               500

Completed and Transferred Out (54,000  × 100%)                        54,000

Equivalent units of production with respect to conversion costs 54,500

Calculation of the conversion cost per equivalent unit

cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units

                                        = ($30,430 + $650,820) ÷ 54,500

                                        = $12.50
