Carmelo Rose · Answer 1

Unit product cost = $255

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units produced 2,500

Direct materials $75 per unit

Direct labor $65 per unit

Variable manufacturing overhead $25 per unit

Fixed manufacturing overhead $225,000 per year

Under the absorption costing method, the unitary product cost is calculated using the direct material, direct labor, and unitary total overhead.

First, we need to determine the unitary fixed overhead:

Unitary fixed overhead = 225,000/2,500 = $90

Unit product cost = 75 + 65 + (25 + 90) = $255
