Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
First, we need to calculate the total manufacturing costs for Job M825:

Direct materials = $12,650
Direct labor = $9,700
Manufacturing overhead = $9,460 ($15 per MH x 630 MHs)
Total manufacturing costs = $31,810

To find the selling price, we need to mark up the unit product cost by 40%:

Unit product cost = $31,810 / 630 units = $50.50
Selling price = $50.50 x 1.4 = $70.70

Therefore, the closest answer choice is C) $211.75 (since the question asks for the selling price of a unit, and the total manufacturing cost is spread out over 3 units).
