Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Units Started into the production = 14,000 Units

Ending work in process = 2,000 units

Transferred Units = Units in the starting - Ending work in process

= 14,000 units - 2,000 Units

= 12,000 Units

Equivalent units = Transferred units + Ending work in process in units × % of Completion

= 12,000 Units + 2,000 Units × 25% complete

= 12,000 + 2,000 × 0.25

= 12,000 units + 500 units

= 12,500 units

Total Conversion cost = $52,500

[tex]Conversion\ cost\ per\ Equivalent\ unit=\frac{Total\ Conversion\ cost}{Equivalent\ Units}[/tex]

[tex]Conversion\ cost\ per\ Equivalent\ unit=\frac{52,500}{12,500}[/tex]

= $4.2
