Answer:

The Jones Corporation

At the end of the period, the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs would be closest to:

$19

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Units started during the current period = 2,500

Units completed and transferred out =      1,100

Ending inventory of units =                         1,400

Degree of completion for ending inventory:

Materials = 60%

Conversion = 45%

Equivalent production:

                                                 Direct materials              Conversion

Started and completed                  1,100                           1,100  (100%)

Ending inventory                              840  (1,400 * 60%)    630 (1,400 *45%)

Total equivalent unit                      1,940                          1,730

Cost per equivalent unit:

                                   Direct materials     Conversion

Cost incurred                $35,405                 $32,870

Total equivalent unit         1,940                      1,730

Cost per equivalent unit $18.25                    $19
