    Correct answer is 8.738

    Explanation:

    Unit transferred out

    = Beginning wip+unit started-ending wip

    = 18200+85000-18000

    Unit transferred out = 85200 unit

    Equivalent unit

    = Units transferred out+Ending inventory*percent completion

    = 85200 + (18000*70%)

    Equivalent unit = 97800 units

    cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost

    = Total cost/equivalent unit

    = (16700+837880) / 97800

    Cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost = 8.738
