Answer:
The conversion cost per equivalent unit in the mixing department amounts to $ 14.19
Explanation:
Step 1 Determine the Number of Units Completed
Hint: Input units in process must equal output units from the process
Thus, Units Completed = 4,000 units+8,000 units - 2,500 units
= 9,500 units
Step 2 Assess the total conversion cost for the period within the process
Hint: Conversion costs in Opening Work In Progress + Conversion Costs Initiated during the Process
So:
Opening Work In Progress $55,000
Plus Costs Initiated during the Process $92,000
Total Conversion Costs $149,000
Step 3 Calculate the total Equivalent Units concerning Conversion Costs
Completed Units - 100% 9,500
Closing Work in Progress - 40% 1,000
Total 10,500
Step 4 Determine the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs in the mixing department
cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs= total conversion cost/ total Equivalent Units
= $149,000/ 10,500
= $ 14.19
