Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The unit cost for Job 713 is calculated by dividing the total cost of the job by the number of units produced. Since the information given does not mention the number of units produced, we cannot calculate the unit cost accurately. Therefore, the best choice would be to use the average of the given answer choices, which is (3.94+3.89+4.00+4.09)/4 = $3.98. However, since we cannot be certain if this is the correct answer, it is best to choose the closest option, which is B ($3.89).
