    (a) Total units for January = 14,200

    Total units for May = 23,260

    (b). Conversion cost for:

    January = 13,053

    March = 13,660

    May = 21,688

    July = 11,212

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    1)

    Jan. May

    Units to be accounted for

    Beginning WIP 0 0

    Started into production 14,200 23,260

    Total number units 14,200 23,260

    Units accounted for

    Transferred out 11,100 15,400

    Ending WIP 3,100 7,860

    Total units 14200 15400

    2)

    We can calculate the conversion cost by using following formula:

    Conversion cost = Transferred out unit + (Work in process unit * conversion cost)

    Material Conversion cost

    Jan. 14,200 13,053 (11,100 + 3,100 * 63%)

    Mar. 15,700 13,660 (12,300 + 3,400 * 40%)

    May 23,260 21,688 (15,400 + 7,860 * 80%)

    July 12,400 11,212 (10,200 + 2,200 * 46%)
