Answer:
Unitary cost= $172.5
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead= $231,000
Variable manufacturing overhead= $2.80 per machine-hour
Estimated machine-hours= 30,000
Job A496:
Number of units in the job 20
Total machine-hour 80
Direct materials $870
Direct labor cost $1,740
First, we need to calculate the estimated manufacturing overhead rate:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 231,000/30,000 + 2.8
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $10.5 per machine hour
Now, we can determine the total cost of Job A496:
Total cost= 870 + 1,740 + (10.5*80)
Total cost= $3,450
Finally, the unitary cost:
Unitary cost= 3,450/20
Unitary cost= $172.5
