Cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost = $116.66

Explanation:

Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required to a complete a set of work is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.

To determine the cost per equivalent unit, we use the formula below:

Cost per equivalent unit = $70,000/600

= $116.66
