Answer:

c. $35.95

Explanation:

Step 1 : Equivalent units

Materials

To finish Opening Work In Process (500 x 0%)               0

Started and Completed (4,500 x 100%)                     4,500

Ending Work in Process (340 x 100%)                          340

Equivalent units of Production                                    4,840

Conversion

To finish Opening Work In Process (500 x 40%)        200

Started and Completed (4,500 x 100%)                   4,500

Ending Work in Process (340 x 30%)                           102

Equivalent units of Production                                  4,802

Step 2 : Cost per equivalent unit

Materials = $22,252  ÷ 4,840 = $4.60

Conversion Costs = $150,535  ÷   4,802 = $31.35

Therefore,

Total Unit Cost = $4.60 + $31.35 = $35.95
