Celeste Collins · Answer 1

Conversion cost per unit is b. $20.00

Explanation:

Conversion cost It is the cost of producing each unit, it corresponds to the direct materials used and the direct labor is for this reason that we do not consider neither the selling expenses nor the administrative expenses.

In this case:

Direct materials $50,000

Direct labor $20,000

Manufacturing overhead $130,000

Conversion cost per unit = ($50,000 + $20,000 + $130,000) / 10,000 units=

Conversion cost per unit = $200,000 / 10,000 units = $20.00
