Trevin · Answer 1

Total Cost Per Product is $1.60

Explanation:

From the question the following information are derived:

Direct raw material cost per product = $1.50

The cost of the filter for producing 500 products = $50

Hence, the cost of the filter per product = $ (50 / 500) = $0.10

In this question, No cost of labor is given, we can now decide the following

Total Cost per product = $ (1.50 + 0.10)

= $1.60

Total Cost Per Product in this account is $1.60
