Answer:

Equivalent Unit Cost = 9.942308718 = 9.94

Explanation:

Beg WIP   5,250 0.70 = 3675

Completed and transferred   56,960

Ending WIP   7,450 0.40 = 2,980

Equivalent   56,265  (Completed + Ending - Beginning)

Equivalent Unit Cost 559,404/56,265 = 9.942308718

We didn't include the beginning units in the calculation for the equivalent untis, so we don't assing their cost to the equivalent unit cost neither.

The beginning inventory will be carrying value + equivalent units of incomplete portion x equivalent units cost
