    The total cost of the units started and completed during the period is $181,306. The right answer is b

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate the total cost of the units started and completed during the period we would have to calculate the Equivalent units as follows:

    Equivalent units:

    Whole units material conversion

    Beginning units 2,400 0 1,800 (75%)

    Units started and complete 10,900 10,900 10,900

    (13,300-2,400)

    Total transferred 13,300 10,900 $ 12,700

    Ending units 20,00 2,000 400 (20%)

    Equivalent units 15,300 12,900 13,100

    Equivalent cost per unit:

    Material conversion

    Cost incurred this period $116,100 $100,000

    : equivalent units * 12,900 : 13,100

    Cost per equivalent unit $9 $7.6336

    Therefore, the total cost of the units started and completed during the period = 10,900 units * ($9+7.6336)

    =$181,306
