Answer:

$3.74 per equivalent unit

Explanation:

beginning WIP 10,000 units, which were 70% complete = 7,000 equivalent units

units started and completed during the month 50,000

ending WIP 5,000, which were 10% complete = 500 equivalent units

costs incurred = $200,000

under FIFO, total equivalent units:

beginning WIP completed (100% - 70%) x 10,000 = 3,000 units

+ units started and completed 50,000 units

+ ending WIP 5,000 x 10% = 500                          

total units = 53,500 equivalent units

cost per equivalent unit = $200,000 / 53,500 = $3.738 or $3.74 per equivalent unit
