Cool Sky reports the following costing data on its product for its first year of operations. During this first year, the company produced 44,000 units and sold 36,000 units at a price of $140 per unit.

Manufacturing costs
Direct materials per unit $60
Direct labor per unit $22
Variable overhead per unit $8
Fixed overhead for the year $528,000
Selling and administrative costs
Variable selling and administrative cost per unit $11
Fixed selling and administrative cost per year $105,000
Assume the company uses absorption costing.

Determine its product cost per unit.

Answer 1

The Cool Sky product cost per unit is $102.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the product cost per unit using the absorption costing we find the per unit rate for Fixed Overheads for the year as follows,

Total Fixed overheads for the year / Units produced during the year

$528,000 / 44,000 unit = $12 per unit.

Total Cost per unit = Direct Material per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable overhead per unit + Fixed Overhead per unit.

Total Cost per unit = $60 + $22 + $8 + $12

Total Cost per unit = $102 per unit.
