    Cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost:

    = $7.827

    Explanation:

    Cost per equivalent unit of conversion is the total conversion cost divided by the total equivalent units of conversion cost

    Completed units t opening inventory + started newly - closing inventory

    Completed = 14,000 + 105,500 - 27,000 = 92,500

    Item units equivalent unit

    completed unit 92500 100% * 92500 = 92,500

    Closing inventory 27000 80% * 27,000 = 21600

    Total equivalent units 114,100

    cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost

    = (58,915 + $834,18) / 114,100

    = $7.827
