b. Determine the costs per equivalent unit of direct materials and conversion. If required, round your answer to two decimal places.

Cost per equivalent unit of direct materials	$12.9
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion	$????

c. Determine the cost of units started and completed in November.
$?????

Answer 1

Equivalent Units :-

	Direct Material	Conversion
Units completed and transferred to next department	92000	92000
Ending WIP	7900	(7900 * 70%) =5530
EUP	99900	97530

b. Determine the costs per equivalent unit of direct materials and conversion. If required, round your answer to two decimal places.

Cost per equivalent unit of direct materials	$12.93
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion	$2.80

Cost per equivalent unit of direct materials = (Beginning WIP cost + Cost added)/EUP

= ($130680 + $1161000)/99900 = $12.93

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = (Beginning WIP cost + Cost added)/EUP

= ($8019 + $111200 + $153568)/97530 = $2.80

c. Determine the cost of units started and completed in November:-

82100 units * ($12.93 + $2.80) = $1291433
