b. $23.75
c. $12.50
d. $11.25
e. $8.75

Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cost of Direct Materials used in production: $50,000

Cost of Direct Labor wages: $37,500

Variable Manufacturing Overhead: $25,000

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead: $125,000

Total units produced: 10,000

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

First, we need to calculate the total cost:

Total cost= 50,000 + 37,500 + 25,000 + 125,000

Total cost= $237,500

Now, the unitary cost:

Unitary cost= 237,500/10,000= $23.75
