Per Unit Total Direct materials $15 Direct labor $5 Variable manufacturing overhead $11 Fixed manufacturing overhead $478,800 Variable selling and administrative expenses $5 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $171,000 The company uses a 40% markup percentage on total cost.Compute the total cost per unit.Total cost per unit $____________________

Answer 1

Total cost per unit is $77

Step-by-step explanation:

Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ Number of units

= $478,800 ÷ 34,200 = $14 per unit

Fixed selling and administrative expenses per unit = Total Fixed selling and administrative expenses ÷ Number of units

= $171,000 ÷ 34,200 = $5 per unit.

Total cost per unit = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead + Variable selling expenses + Fixed selling expenses

Total cost per unit = $15 + $5 + $11 + $14 + $5 + $5 = $55 per unit.

Markup = 40% of total cost = $55 × 40% = $22

Therefore, total selling price per unit = Cost per unit + Markup

= $55 + $22 = $77 per unit.
