Answer and Explanation:

Cost per equivalent unit = Production cost / Equivalent units

Material cost per equivalent unit = $15,398 / 20,260 = $0.76

Conversion cost per equivalent unit = ($39,891 + $18,800) / 19,180 = $3.06

Cost Reconciliation Schedule:

Cost accounted for:

Transferred out [18,100 x ($0.76 + $3.06) ] $69,142

Work in process:

Materials (2,160 x $0.76) $1,642

Conversion costs (2,160 x $3.06 x 0.5) $3,305

$4,947

Total cost accounted for $74,089
