Answer:
$162,761
Explanation:
beginning WIP:
400 units 100% complete for materials, so 0% will be added during the period
400 units 40% complete for conversion, so 60% will be added during the period = 240 equivalent units
units started and completed:
4,700 units 100% complete for materials and conversion
ending WIP:
400 units 100% complete for materials = 400 equivalent units
400 units 34% complete for conversion = 136 equivalent units
materials cost per equivalent unit = $26,500 / (4,700 + 400) = $5.20
conversion cost per equivalent unit = $149,400 / (4,700 + 240 + 136) = $29.43
total costs per equivalent unit = $34.63
total costs for units started and completed during the period = 4,700 x $34.63 = $162,761
