B. $10.00
C. $4.00
D. $8.00
Equivalent units for materials = 5,000 x 80% = 4,000
Equivalent units for conversion = 5,000 x 50% = 2,500
Ending inventory dollar value = $60,000
Ending inventory dollar value = (Equivalent units for materials x Cost per equivalent unit for materials) + (Equivalent units for conversion x Cost per equivalent unit for conversion)
$60,000 = (4,000 x Cost per equivalent unit for materials) + (2,500 x $8.00)
$60,000 = 4,000x X + $20,000
X = $10.00
