The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Roach Company expected to incur $54,000 of overhead costs in producing 6,000 units of product. The direct material cost is $20 per unit of product. The direct labor cost is $30 per unit. During January, 500 units were produced.

First, we need to calculate the unitary overhead cost:

Unitary overhead = 54,000/6,000 = $9

Total cost = direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost = 500*20 + 500*30 + 500*9 = $29,500
