cost per units $311.37

Total cost of 21000 units is $6,538,730.00

Explanation:

The total costs next month are analyzed as follows:

unit cost is shown thus:

$

indirect material cost ($1,006,000/15000) 67.07

direct labor ($2,089,000/15000) 139.27

indirect materials ($233,000/15000) 15.53

power (214,000/15000) 14.27

Total variable cost per unit 236.13

total cost = (236.13*21000) + 945,000+295,000+148,000+192,000=$ 6,538,730.00

Total costs of 21,000 units = $6,538,730.00

cost per unit=$6,538,730.00/21000=$ 311.37
