Answer:
a. $2.32
b. $2.92
Explanation:
Part a
Equivalent Units
Completed and Transferred 109,600 x 100% 109,600
Ending Work In Process 24,400 x 92% 22,448
Equivalent Units with respect to Materials 132,048
Total Materials Cost
Materials cost Beginning Work in Process $122,800
Add Material Cost incurred during the year $184,000
Total Material Costs $306,800
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Materials Cost ÷ Equivalent Units
= $306,800 ÷ 132,048
= $2.32
Part b
Equivalent Units
To finish OWIP 40,000 x 42% 16,800
Started and Completed (109,000 - 40,000) x 100 69,000
Closing Work in Progress 24,400 x 58% 14,152
Equivalent units with respect to conversion cost 99,952
Total Conversion Cost
Conversion Cost incurred during the year $292,000
Total Material Costs
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Conversion Cost ÷ Equivalent Units
= $292,000 ÷ 99,952
= $2.92
