Short Answer

Expert verified

The cost per equivalent unit of production for transferred-in is $7.50, for direct materials is $3.25, and conversion cost is $8.5.

Step by step solution

Step-by-Step Solution:Step 1: Conversion Cost

Conversion cost is incurred by a company while manufacturing finished goods from the raw material. The Sum of direct labor and the manufacturing overhead cost is called conversion cost.

Cost per equivalent unit of production (EUP) for transferred in units

$Cost per EUP for transferred in = \frac{Total cost of transferred in units}{Equivalent units of production for transferred in} = \frac{$ 22, 500}{3, 000} = $ 7.5$

Cost per equivalent unit of production for direct materials

$Cost per EUP for Direct materials = \frac{Total directmaterial costs}{Equivalent units of production for Directmaterial} = \frac{$ 9, 750}{3, 000} = $ 3.25$

Cost per equivalent unit of production for conversion cost

$Cost per EUP for Conversion costs = \frac{Total Conversion costs}{Equivalent units of production for conversion costs} = \frac{$ 19, 125}{2, 250} = $ 8.50$
