Exercise 18.14 Part a
a. Compute the cost per equivalent unit of direct materials and conversion carried forward from August and assigned to the Bonding Department's beginning inventory on September 1.
Beginning inventory equivalent unit of material = 300*40% = 120
Beginning inventory equivalent unit of conversion = 300*25% = 75
Cost per equivalent unit of material = 50400/120 = 420
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = 36000/75 = 480
