Determine the cost per unit of production for the previous month and the next month.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. Total Production Cost = $413400

2. Cost per unit of production for the previous month = $25.44

   Cost per unit of production for the next month = $25.44

Explanation:

GIVEN:

Direct Material for 12,500 unit = $111,500

Direct Labor for 12,500 unit = $206,500

Calculate:

Direct Material for 16,250 unit = $111,500*16,250/12,500 = $144,950

Direct Labor for 16,250 unit = $206,500*16,250/12,500 = $268,450

  • Total Production Cost =  Direct labor + Direct materials + Factory Overheads

Total Production Cost =  $144,950 + $268,450

Total Production Cost =  $413,400

Cost per unit of production = Total Production Cost / Total unit

For Previous month  = ($111,500 + $206,500) / 12,500

                                  = $318000/ 12,500

                                  = $25.44

For Next month = ($413400) / 16,250    

                           = $25.44
