Explanation / Answer

1.Cost of beginning WIP inventory completed this period

Direct Materials=4000*1.5

6000

Conversion Costs=4000*2

=8000

Total cost=6000+8000

=14000

2. Cost of units transferred to finished goods this year=92000(1.5+2)

=92000*3.5

=322000

3.Cost of ending WIP Inventory= 2000(1.5+2)

=2000*3.5

=7000

4.Cost per unit of completed WIP inventory=7900+4000(1.5+2)*.65

=7900+9100

=17000/4000

=4.25/unit

b.Yes it changed from preceding period.

c.Conversion costs per equivalent unit increased for the current period.
