Solution :

 Particulars                                                         Direct materials   Conversions

Cost per equivalent unit              

Total costs for month March in Department B          115500              522915

Total equivalent units                                                   55000              58000

Cost per equivalent unit                                                 2.10               9.0158

So, total conversion cost for March in the Department B

= 384915 + 138000

Inventory in process, March 1                                                              62400
