Kenton Industrial Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. During April, the Baker Assembly Department completed its processing of 27,000 units and transferred them to the next department. The cost of beginning inventory and the costs added during April amounted to $729,300 in total. The ending inventory in April consisted of 2,500 units, which were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The costs per equivalent unit for the month were as follows:
