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 conversion cost per equivalent unit was $1.15 per gallon in August, what is the difference in the conversion cost per equivalent unit between the two months

Answer:

Florida, Inc.

The difference in the conversion cost per equivalent unit between the two months is:

= $0.15.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Direct materials cost = $12,000

Production units (gallons of strawberry lemonade) = 7,500

Conversion costs = $6,000

Degree of completion of conversion = 80%

Equivalent units of conversion = 6,000 (7,500 * 80%)

Therefore, the conversion cost per equivalent unit = $1.00 ($6,000/6,000)

The difference in the conversion cost per equivalent unit between the two months is $0.15 ($1.15 - $1.00)
