To calculate the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs using the weighted average method, first, add the beginning conversion costs to the current conversion costs: $13,800 + $350,000 = $363,800. Then, calculate the equivalent units for conversion costs considering the ending work in process (WIP) is 70% complete: 13,000 units * 70% = 9,100 equivalent units. Add the equivalent units for ending WIP to the units transferred out, since all transferred out units are 100% complete: 9,100 + 72,500 = 81,600 equivalent units. Finally, divide the total conversion costs by the total equivalent units: $363,800 / 81,600 = $4.46. However, since this exact value is not an option and considering possible rounding differences in calculation or a mistake in the final step, the closest provided option is D) $4.35.
