The actual manufacturing overhead costs are $ 225 comma 000 and actual machine hours are 25 comma 000. What is the profit margin earned if each unit requires two machineminus​hours?

Answer:

Profit margin  =  $3 per unit

Explanation:

The profit margin earned is the difference between selling price and the manufacturing cost

Manufacturing cost per unit = variable cost + fixed overhead cost per unit

overhead absorption rate = estimated overhead/estimated machine hours

                                             =$220,000/20,000 machine hours

                                           = $11 per hour

Manufacturing cost per unit = 2 + (11 × 2) = $24 per  unit

Profit margin  = 27 - 24

                        = $3 per unit
