Answer 1

conversion cost per equivalent unit: 10.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Luna uses the weighted average method:

complete units + equivalent units ending WIP

Completed during the period 187,000

ending WIP 197,000 x 30% = 59,100‬

Equivalent units 246,100‬

cost: beginning invenotry + added during the period

165,600 + 2,410,800 = 2,576,400‬

cost per equivalent unit: cost / equivalent untis

2,576,400 / 246,100 = 10,4689 = 10.47
