Alayna Cunningham · Answer 1

40000 units were produced during the period

Explanation:

Depreciation and amortization are not included in the cost of goods sold and are expensed as separate line items on the income statement.

To calculate the total cost of units we need to sum:

$30,000 for direct materials

$50,000 in wages for production workers

$20,000 selling and administrative expenses

Total cost = $100000

Cost per unit = Total cost/Qunits

Q=Total cost/cost per unit

Q=100000/2,5=40000units
