What costs are allocated to the good units transferred out during September? Please round the cost per equivalent unit up to the penny, thanks!

Cracked Inc. manufactures a single product and uses the FIFO method of process costing.
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process. Conversion costs
are incurred evenly throughout production. Inspection takes place at the end of the
production process. After inspection, some units are spoiled due to defects. Spoiled units
generally constitute 2% of the good units transferred out (this is normal spoilage).
Assume all spoilage is from the current month's production. Data provided for September
is as follows:
Units:
WIP, beginning inventory
WIP, ending inventory
Started in September
Good units completed and transferred out
12,500
5,700
54,000
58,500
Beginning work in process was 40% complete with respect to conversion. Ending work
in process was 20% complete with respect to conversion.
Costs:
WIP, beginning inventory:
Direct material cost
$ 66,415
$ 37,622
Conversion costs
Costs added:
Direct material costs added
$160,920
$119,574
Conversion costs added
