Coastal Cycles makes three models of electric bicycles: E20, E35, and E60. The models differ by the size of the battery and the quality of the components. The bicycles are produced in two departments. The Assembly Department purchases components from vendors and assembles them into bicycles. The models E20 and E35 are complete and ready for sale after completing the assembly process. The model E60 undergoes further process in Customization Department, which is actually just a small area in the same building as the Assembly Department.
Conversion costs in both the Assembly Department and Customization Department are based on the number of units produced. There are never any work-in-process inventories. Data for production in November are shown in the following table.

The plant controller believes that keeping track of the three
models and separating costs in the Assembly and Customization
Departments is not worth the time and effort. She suggests not
distinguishing between the three bike models, treating Assembly and
Customization as a single department, and using process costing to
develop product costs for the three bikes.
Required:
a. Suppose the Controller's suggestion is followed. What will be the unit cost of a bike produced in November?
