Answer 1

Unitary prime cost= $170.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Last month, direct materials (electronic components, etc.) costing $550,000 were put into production.

Direct labor= $880,000.

Manufacturing overhead equaled $495,000

The company manufactured 8,400 television sets during the month.

Unitary prime cost= (direct material + direct labor)/number of units

Unitary prime cost= (550000 + 880000)/8400= $170.24
