Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $79700. Costs incurred in October - Direct Materials: $646.800 Costs incurred in October - Conversion: $919,300 Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials

Answer 1

Equivalent unit of material (FIFO) = (80000*40%+250000+30000*40%) = 294000

Cost per equivalent unit of material = 646800/294000 = 2.20
