Variable costs per unit: Direct materials $90
Direct labor $42
Variable manufacturing overhead $3

There were no beginning or ending inventories. The absorption costing unit product cost was:_______

Answer 1

Unitary product cost= $168 per unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units produced 4,100

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $90

Direct labor $42

Variable manufacturing overhead $3

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $135,300

Under the absorption costing method, the unitary product cost is calculated using the direct material, direct labor, and total unitary overhad.

Unitary product cost= direct material + direct labor + unitary variable overhead + unitary fixed overhead

Unitary product cost= 90 + 42 + 3 + (135,300/4,100)= $168 per unit
