    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Raw material = $60,000

    Direct labor = $48,000

    Overhead = $52,000

    Premium Company started and completed 400,000 boxes.

    First, we need to calculate the total manufacturing cost and unitary cost:

    Total cost = Direct material + direct labor + overhead

    Total cost = 60,000 + 48,000 + 52,000 = 160,000

    Unitary cost = 160,000/400,000 = $0.4 per box

    Now, we can calculate the selling price:

    Selling price = Unitary cost*mark up = 0.4*1.40 = $0.56
