Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion.a. 196,500.b. 135,725.c. 128,000.d. 174,075.

Answer 1

the cost per equivalent unit of conversion is $3.49

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cost per equivalent unit of conversion is as follows;

= Total conversion cost ÷ equivalent units

where

total conversion cost is $608,150

And, the equivalent units is

= 162,000 units × 100% + 34,500 units × 35%

= 162,000 units + 12,075 units

= 174,075 units

Now the cost per equivalent unit of conversion is

= $608,150 ÷ 174,075 units

= $3.49 per unit

Hence, the cost per equivalent unit of conversion is $3.49
