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: 12,500
- WIP, ending inventory: 5,700
- Started in September: 54,000
- Good units completed and transferred out: 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
  - Conversion costs: $37,622

- Costs added:
  - Direct material costs added: $160,920
  - Conversion costs added: $119,574
