    The answer is: The conversion cost per equivalent unit is closest to: A) $8.486

    Explanation:

    We first have to determine the number of equivalent units that the welding department processed.

    started with 19,600 units at 10%, so they needed 90% of work to be finished. This is equivalent to 17,640 units processed ( = 19,600 x 90%) 92,000 new units entered the welding process but only 67,000 units were finished by the end of the month. 25,000 units were only 70% complete which is equivalent to 17,500 units processed

    So the total number of equivalent units processed during that month by the welding department was 17,640 + 67,000 + 17,500 = 102,140 units

    The total conversion costs for the month were $844,880, so the conversion cost per equivalent unit is $8.27.
