Each lamp consists of 9 parts. The total direct materials cost per lamp is $8.00. What is the total manufacturing cost per lamp

Answer 1

$15.10 per lamp

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost per part of Material handling = $3000/6000 parts

Cost per part of Material handling = $0.50 per part

Assembling per hour = $7200/3000

Assembling per hour = $2.40 per hour

Packaging per lamp = $4000/2000

Packaging per lamp = $2 per lamp

Total manufacturing cost per Lamp = $8 + (9*$0.50) + ($2.40/4) + $2

Total manufacturing cost per Lamp = $8 + $4.5 + $0.6 + $2

Total manufacturing cost per Lamp = $15.10 per lamp
