Sox · Answer 1

Unitary product cost = $68

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

23,000 units

Direct materials = $23 per unit

Direct labor = $19 per unit

Variable overhead = $276,000

Fixed overhead, $322,000

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

Fixed unitary overhead = 322,000/23,000 = $14

Unitary variable overhead = 276,000/23,000 = $12

Total = $26

Unitary product cost = 23 + 19 + 26 = $68
