Answer 1

Total cost per unit using absorption costing = $34

Step-by-step explanation:

Absorption costing is method of costing where overheads are charged to units produced using volume-based bases. e.g machine hours, labour hours e.t.c. Units are valued using full cost per unit

Full cost per unit= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + Variable production overhead + Fixed production overhead

Fixed production overhead = Budgeted overhead/Budgeted production units

unit cost for 2,000 units

Fixed production overhead = $3,144,000/524,000= 6

Total cost = 6 + 11+ 17 = 34

Total cost per unit using absorption costing = $34
