Tori Company uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. The first processing
department, the Soldering Department, started the month with 17,000 units in its
beginning work-in–process inventory that were 70% complete with respect to conversion
costs. The conversion cost in this beginning work–in–process inventory was $101,150. An
additional 68,000 units were started into production during the month. There were 23,000
units in the ending work-in-process inventory of the Soldering Department that were 80%
complete with respect to conversion costs. A total of $565,125 in conversion costs were
incurred in the department during the month.
What would be the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs? (Round off to three
decimal places.)

The Finishing Department had 5,000 incomplete units in its beginning Work–in-Process
Inventory which were 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion
costs. 15,000 units were received from the previous department. The ending Work–in–
Process Inventory consisted of 2,000 units which were 50% complete as to materials and
30% complete as to conversion costs. The Finishing Department uses first-in, first-out
(FIFO) process costing.
