The conversion cost per equivalent unit is $3.31

Explanation:

The computation of the conversion cost per equivalent unit is shown below:

= Total conversion costs : Total equivalent units

where,

Total conversion cost = completed units + Conversion costs during April

= $6,000 + $35,000

= $41,000

And, the total equivalents units equal to

= Finished good units * percentage of completion + ending work in process units * percentage of completion

= 11,500 units * 100% + 1,500 units * 60%

= 11,500 units + 900 units

= 12,400 units

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the per unit would equal to

= $41,000 : 12,400 units

= $3.31 per unit
