Answer:

C) Debit Conversion cost $607,000 Credit Wages​ Payable, Accumulated​ Depreciation, etc. $607,000

Explanation:

First we understand what conversion cost is

Conversion cost represents the cost that is relevant and incurred when a  manufacturing organisation converts its obtained raw materials into its sell-able finished goods.

As such, what is the relevant conversion cost here

= The total conversion cost = Direct Labour + Overhead

= $600,000 + $7,000 = $607,000

Step 2: Since, wages were not paid, the account to use is wages payable, therefore the journal entry will be

Description                                Debit                     Credit

Conversion Costs                 $607,000

Wages Payable, Accumulated Depreciation etc  $607,000
