Explanation / Answer

A) Total estimated conversion cost for the mont of December = $31,500

Conversion cost per hour = $31,500/210 hours = $150 per hour

Conversion cost per unit of speaker = $150*18/60 = $45 per unit

Applied conversion cost for 780 speaker units = (780*$125) = $97,500

Total cost per unit of speaker = ($125+$45) = $170 per unit
