    B. $0.160

    Explanation:

    Start and Finished 127,500

    Ending Inventory 40,000 x 1/4 complete = 10,000

    Beginning 50,000 x 1/4 incompleted = 12,500

    Total equivalent units 150,000

    It will be, the started and completed, pus the ending inventory portion

    and the work done on the beginning inventory to finish it.

    Now cost would be: cost / equivalent units:

    Labor Cost: 24,000

    cost for labor: 24,000/150,000 = 0.16
