Answer 1

a. Job 40 Job 42

Direct material 200*24= $4,800 900*18= $16,200

Direct labor 700*24= $16,800 1000*10 = $10,000

Overhead applied 700*6= $4,200 1000*6 = $6,000

Total Job cost $25,800 $32,200

b. Job 40 cost per unit = $25,800/1000 units

Job 40 cost per unit = $25.8 per unit

Job 42 cost per unit = $32,200/500 units

Job 42 cost per unit = $64.4 per unit
