Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Conversion costs are calculated by subtracting the total materials costs from the total manufacturing costs ($200,000 - $150,000 = $50,000). Then, to find the conversion cost per unit, divide the total conversion costs by the equivalent units for conversion costs ($50,000 / 8,000 units = $6.25).
