I'm going with C as well. It's the only one that doesn't make me feel like I'm back in high school math class.

C is the way to go. It's the only one that's truly universal across both cost systems. The others are a bit more system-dependent.

I agree with Whitney. C is the clear winner here. The other options are a bit too specific to one system or the other.

Hmm, I'm not sure. I think D might also apply, since unit cost is calculated the same way in both systems. Gotta love those cost accounting formulas!

Option C seems to be the most applicable to both a job order cost system and a process cost system. Both systems track the three main manufacturing cost elements.
