    The total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was a.$259,700

    Explanation:

    The Concept of Equivalent units measures the units in terms of completion percentage in their inputs

    Calculation of Equivalent Units in Goods Finished and Transferred out of the department:

    It is important to note that physical units finished and transfered were 53,000 units

    Therefore equivalent units were

    Materials 100% * 53,000 = 53,000

    Conversion Cost 100% * 53,000 = 53,000

    Calculation of total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department

    Materials = 53,000*$1.60 = $84,800

    Conversion Cost = 53,000 * $ 3.30 = $174,900

    Total = $259,700
