Materials 7.34

Labor 2.60

Overhead 13

Explanation:

We will add for each category the beginning cost wth the cost added during the period:

Materials:

18,000 + 238,900 = 256,900

Labor:

5,500 + 80,300 = 85,800

Overhead:

27,500 + 401,500 = 429,000

Now we diivde by the equivalent units of each category:

Equivalent unit cost:

Materials:

256,900 / 35,000 = 7.34

Labor:

85,800 / 33,000 = 2.60

Overhead:

429,000 / 33,000 = 13
