Answer
Physical unit
| Particulars | units |
| Beginning work in process | 0 |
| Started units | 16,500 |
| Total units | 16,500 |
| Units completed and transferred out | 13,000 |
| Ending work in process | 3,500 |
| Total units | 16,500 |
Equivalent unit of conversion cost
= 13,000 + (3,500 × 60%) = 15,100 units
Cost per equivalent unit of material
= (32,000 + 10,000) / 15,100 = $2.78
$2.78 is the cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost under weighted average method.
The cost of conversion cost includes direct labour and factory overhead.
