Materials cost $13.41 per unit started and conversion costs $20.40 per equivalent unit. What is the cost per unit of goods both started and completed in May?
A$33.81
B$33.76
C$19.53
D$29.73
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. $33.81
1. Units started and completed in May pick up all of their materials and all of their conversion in May.
2. Materials are $13.41 per unit and conversion is the full $20.40 per unit.
3. Cost per unit is $13.41 plus $20.40, which is $33.81.
4. $33.76 belongs to the group carried in from April, which brought part of its cost with it.
5. $19.53 is the cost of an unfinished unit at May 31, carrying only 30% of conversion.
