B) $200,000

C) $56,500

D) $65,000

Answer 1

D. $65,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

Direct labor = $56,500

Manufacturing overhead = $8,500

The computation of Conversion costs is shown below:-

Conversion costs = Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead

= $56,500 + $8,500

= $65,000

Therefore for computing the conversion cost we simply add the direct labor with manufacturing overhead.
