    D) $980,000.

    Explanation:

    we need to determine the equivalent units:

    equivalent units for materials = 100,000 since the materials are added at the beginning of the process equivalent units for conversion costs = 100,000 units started - 8,000 in ending inventory + (8,000 x 30%) = 94,400 units

    materials cost per unit = $500,000 / 100,000 = $5 per unit

    conversion cost per equivalent unit = $535,000 / 94,400 equivalent units = $5.6673 per unit

    units completed = 100,000 - 8,000 = 92,000

    manufacturing costs allocated to units completed = (92,000 x $5.6673) + (92,000 x $5) = $521,398.31 + $460,000 = $981,398.31 ⇒ closest to $980,000
