Explanation / Answer
9./
EQUIVELENT UNIT OF PRODUCTION
BEGINNING INVENTORY [33000 * (1 - 0.80)] = 6600
UNIT STARTED & 100% COMPLETED (83000 - 43000) = 40000
ENDING INVENTORY (43000 * 90%) = 38700
TOTAL EQUIVELENT UNIT = 85300
TOTAL CONVERSION COST = $780495
TOTAL EQUIVELENT UNIT = 85300
EQUIVELENT COST PER UNIT ($780495 / 85300) = $9.15

CONVERSION COST ASSIGNED TO THE UNITS COMPLETED & TRANSFERED
=EQUIVELENT CONVERSION COST PER UNIT * UNITS COMPLETED & TRANSFERED
= $9.50 * 69600
= $661200
