Answer:
$1.752 Â per unit
Explanation:
The computation of the cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost is as follows:
Total conversion cost for month of January
= Opening wip conversion cost + current production conversion cost
= $5,096 + $87,668
= 92,764
Now the total equivalent units is
= Units transferred out + ending wip
= 51,300 × 100% + 5,500 × 30%
= 52,950 units
Now the cost per equivalent unit is
= $92,764 ÷ 52,950 units
= $1.752 Â per unit
