Ans:
1. Pedraza Corp. spend on direct labor in October = Conversion Cost- Overhead Cost
=> 189,648-85,200
=> $104,448
2. weighted average cost per equivalent unit for direct material, direct labor and Overhead
Cost per EUP{ for Direct Materials}= Beginning Work in progress Inventory+ Current Direct Material Cost/Equivalent unit Production Cost of Direct materials
=> {26,232+158,688}/53,600
=> {184,920/53,600
=> $3.45
Cost per EUP{ for Direct Labor}= beginning Work in Progress Inventory+ Current Direct labor Cost/Equivalent unit production Cost of Direct labor
=> {19,504+104,448}/48,800
=> 123,952/48,800
=> $2.54
Cost per EUP{ for Overhead}= Beginning Work in process Inventory+ Current Direct overhead Cost/Equivalent unit production cost of overhead cost
=> {20,640+85,200}/42,000
=> 105,840/42,000
=> $2.52
