Answer:
Department E had 4,000 units in Work in Process that were 40% completed at the
beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. Of the $12,500, $8,000 was for material
and $4,500 was for conversion costs. 14,000 units of direct materials were added during
the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and
3,000 units were 75% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the
beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450 and factory overhead was $18,710.
If the average cost method is used the conversion cost per unit (to the nearest cent)
would be:
A.$3.71
B.$2.84
C.$2.97
D.$3.23
