Fish Fillet Incorporated obtains fish and then processes them into frozen fillets and then prepares the frozen fish fillets for distribution to its retail sales department. Direct materials are added at the initiation of the cycle. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the production cycle. Before inspection, some fillets are spoiled due to undetectable defects. Inspection occurs when units are 40% converted. Spoiled fillets generally constitute 6% of the good fillets. Data for April 2017 are as follows:

What cost is allocated to abnormal spoilage using the weighted-average process-costing method? (Round any cost per unit calculations to the nearest cent.)
A) $ 0
B) $4610
C) $2091
D) $2106

* Equivalent unit calculations:
Direct Materials: 85,000 + 134,000 = 219,000 units
Conversion Costs: 183,000 + 12,000 + (24,000 x 25%) = 201,000 units
Total cost per equivalent unit = $2.05 + $2.47 = $4.52
1020 units × $4.52 = $4610
