Answer:

$2.38

Explanation:

Note : I have uploaded the full question below as an image

Step 1

Calculate the Equivalent units of production with respect to conversion costs

Units Completed and Transferred (81,000 x 100%)    = 81,000

Plus Units in Ending Work In Process (9,000 x 20%) =    1,800

Total Equivalent Units                                                   = 82,800

Step 2

Calculate the Total Conversion Costs during the period

Total Conversion Costs = $197,380 (given)

Step 3

Calculate Cost per Equivalent Unit

Cost per Equivalent Unit = Total Cost ÷ Equivalent Units

                                         = $197,380 ÷ 82,800

                                         = $2.38
