Cost accounting question..?

I added all of cost per equivalent unit so it;s $2 and
multiplied by 42,000 and I got answer b. $84,000 or

I just did 42000 times $1.10 and 39,000 times $0.90 and fianlly i got a. $81,300

I am not sure which way is correct..

The following amounts were selected from the production report of Chandon Corporation:
Actual units in production 42,000
Equivalent units (materials) 42,000
Equivalent units (conversion) 39,000
Cost per equivalent unit (materials) $1.10
Cost per equivalent unit (conversion) $0.90

Chandon uses the weighted average method in preparing its production reports. Chandon's total production cost to be accounted for must have been

a. $81,300
b. $84,000
c. $89,100
d. $72,900

Please tell me the correct answer

my answer is b. $84,000

Cost of material = 42,000 x $1.10 = $46,200

Then all the 42,000 units of materials are converted (but result only in 39,000 units of output).

Cost of Conversion = 42,000 x $ 0.90 = $37,800

Total Production Cost = 46,200+37800 = $84,000
