For the month of September, Florida, Inc., incurs a direct materials cost of $12,000 for 7,500 gallons of strawberry lemonade produced in its Mixing Department. It also incurs conversion costs of $6,000 with 80% completed. If the direct materials cost per equivalent unit was $0.90 in August and the conversion cost per equivalent unit was $1.15 per gallon in August, what is the difference in the direct materials cost per equivalent unit between the two months

The difference in the direct materials cost per equivalent unit between the two months is $0.70.

Explanation:

First calculate the direct cost per equivalent unit in September

Direct cost per equivalent unit  = Total Cost / Total Equivalent units

                                                    = $12,000 / 7,500

                                                    = $1.60

Difference between the two months.

September   =  $1.60

Less August = ($0.90)

Difference      = $0.70
