c. $8.00 per unit

Explanation:

Total Cost = Conversion Cost + Material Cost

Total Cost = $360,000 + ($40,000 + $80,000)

Total Cost = $480,000

Total Units = Product 1 units shipped + Product 2 units shipped

Total Units = 20,000 + 40,000

Total Units = 60,000

Cost per unit of 1st product can be calculated as follows;

Cost per unit = Total Cost / Total Units

Cost Per Unit = $480,000 / 60,000

Cost Per Unit = $8.00 per unit
