Question

Cool Sky reports the following costing data on its product for its first year of operations. During this first year, the company produced 42,000 units and sold 34,000 units at a price of $130 per unit. Manufacturing costs Direct materials per unit $ 54 Direct labor per unit $ 20 Variable overhead per unit $ 6 Fixed overhead for the year $ 462,000 Selling and administrative costs Variable selling and administrative cost per unit $ 9 Fixed selling and administrative cost per year $ 115,000 1a. Assume the company uses absorption costing. Determine its product cost per unit

Answer 1

$91

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information,

Direct materials per unit = $54

Direct labor per unit = $20

Variable overhead per unit = $6

Fixed overhead for the year = $462,000

For Absorption costing method, it includes all costs associated with production, including fixed and variable cost. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

Unitary cost = (Fixed overhead for the year / Units produced) + Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit

Unitary cost = ($462,000 / 42,000) + $54 + $20 + $6

Unitary cost = $11 + $54 + $20 + $6

Unitary cost = $91

Therefore, the product cost per unit is $91
