Find Out the Cost per Unit

Material A is added at the start of a production process. Overheads and Labor are added continuously throughout the production process. At the ending of the process, 10,000 units were complete and 2,000 units were 60 percent complete as per overheads and labor.  The cost of raw materials employed throughout the period amounted to shs.220, 000, labour shs.150, 000 and overheads shs.74, 000.  There was no opening inventory.
