Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Equivalent units have been calculated to be 12,700 units for materials and 10,650 units for conversion costs. Beginning inventory consisted of $8,000 in materials and $8,800 in conversion costs. April costs were $30,000 for materials and $43,612 for conversion costs. Ending inventory still in process was 4,100 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion). The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs using the weighted average method would be:

$4,92

Explanation:

Step 1 Calculate the Total Cost of conversion costs incurred during the process.

Total Cost of conversion costs

Cost of conversion in Beginning inventory  $8,800

Add Cost of conversion for April                  $43,612

Total                                                                $52,412

Step 2 Calculate cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs

cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost of conversion / Total equivalent unit for conversion

                                        = $52,412 / 10,650

                                        = $4,92

Therefore, the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs using the weighted average method would be $4,92.
