    E. $0.373

    Explanation:

    beginning WIP + started and complete + ending WIP

    50,000+127,500+10,000=187,500

    for weighed average method we put the beginning inventory and the units started during the period together

    conversion cost = labor cost + overhead cost

    30,000+40,000=70,000 total conversion cost

    unit cost 70,000/187,500 = 0.3733333
