Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $58,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $63,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $388,250. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $614,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

$2.05 per unit

Explanation:

First find out the Equivalent units for materials:

= Units started and completed + Ending work in process

= 180,000 + 37,500

= 217,500 units

Find out total cost of materials:

= Costs in beginning Work in Process for materials + Cost incurred in February

= 58,000 + 388,250

= $446,250

Cost per equivalent unit:

= Total costs / Equivalent units

= 446,250 / 217,500

= $2.05 per unit

the answer is:Sea trade allowed for an exchange of ideas and technology that these civilizations could adapt and utilize in their own society.
