Lakeland Chemical manufactures a product called Zing. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion activity occurs uniformly throughout production. The beginning work-in-process inventory is 60% complete with respect to conversion; the ending work-in-process inventory is 20% complete. The following data pertain to May:
Units Work in process, May 1 15,000
Units started during May 60,000
Units completed and transferred out 68,000
Work in process, May 31 7,000 Total
Direct Materials Conversion Costs
Costs: Work in process, May 1 $ 41,250 $ 16,500 $ 24,750 Costs incurred during May 234,630 72,000 162,630 Totals $ 275,880 $ 88,500 $ 187,380 Using the weighted-average method of process costing, the cost per unit of conversion activity is:.
a. $2.50.
b. $2.53.
c. $2.70.
d. $2.76.

$2.38

Explanation:

Note : I have uploaded the full question below as an image

Step 1

Calculate the Equivalent units of production with respect to conversion costs

Units Completed and Transferred (81,000 x 100%)    = 81,000

Plus Units in Ending Work In Process (9,000 x 20%) =    1,800

Total Equivalent Units                                                   = 82,800

Step 2

Calculate the Total Conversion Costs during the period

Total Conversion Costs = $197,380 (given)

Step 3

Calculate Cost per Equivalent Unit

Cost per Equivalent Unit = Total Cost ÷ Equivalent Units

                                         = $197,380 ÷ 82,800

                                         = $2.38

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
