1. $51,000

2. $18.21

3. $84,000

4. $30

Explanation:

1. Total prime cost:

= Direct material + Direct labor

= $23,000 + $28,000

= $51,000

2. per-unit prime cost:

= Total prime cost : No. of units produced in week

= $51,000 : 2,800

= $18.21

3. Total conversion cost for last week:

= Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead

= $28,000 + $56,000

= $84,000

4. per-unit conversion cost:

= Total conversion cost : No. of units produced in week

= $84,000 : 2,800

= $30
