Wood · Answer 1

(a) unit cost of goods manufactured is $108.00

(b) unit cost of goods manufactured is $122.00

Explanation:

Varibale Product Costing = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Variable Overheads

Absorption Product Costing = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Variable Overheads + Fixed Overheads

(a) the unit cost of goods manufactured - the variable costing concept

Variable cost of goods manufactured ($1,620,000/15,000 units) = $108.00

unit cost of goods manufactured = $108.00

(b) the unit cost of goods manufactured - the absorption costing concept

Variable cost of goods manufactured ($1,620,000/15,000 units) = $108.00

Fixed manufacturing costs ($210,000 / 15,000 units) = $14.00

unit cost of goods manufactured = $122.00
