ending work-in-process (1/3 completed) 600 units
conversion costs in beginning inventory $2,560
current conversion costs $6,900

giddings calculates separate costs of spoilage by computing both normal and abnormal spoiled units. normal spoilage costs are reallocated to good units and abnormal spoilage costs are charged as a loss. the units of solcax that are spoiled are the result of defects not discovered before inspection of finished units. materials are added at the beginning of the process. using the weighted-average method, answer the following question:

what are the unit conversion costs?
