Answer:

B) $.10.

Explanation:

All the cost used in the production process is called production cost.

Capital cost = Units x Cost per unit = 2 x $10 = $20

Raw Material cost = Units x Cost per unit = 5 x $4 = $20

Labor cost = Units x Cost per unit = 8 x $3 = $24

Total Cost = Capital cost + Raw Material cost + Labor cost

Total Cost = $20 + $20 + $24 = $64

Cost per unit = Total cost /  Number of units = $64 / 640 = $0.10
