Answer 1

Total equivalent units: 8,325

Cost per EU converison $ 14,67

Step-by-step explanation:

as there is no beginning WIP the equivalent units will be solved as trasnferred + percentage of completion ending WIP

completed 7,800

ending inventory 700* x 75% = 525

Total equivalent units: 8,325

Cost per equivalent unit for conversion:

122,100 / 8,325 = 14,67

* 8,500 started - 7,800 completed = 700 ending wor in process
