Answer 1

Answer:

 $16.66

Explanation:

Data provided

Direct material = $55,870

Direct labor hour = 475

Wage rate = $11

Machine hour = $556

Number of units = 4,100

Overhead rate = $13

The preparation of job sheet is shown below:-

Direct Material                $55,870

Add: Direct Labor           $5,225

( 475 × $11)

Overhead                         $7,228

($556 × $13)

Total                                  $68,323                      

Number of units                4,100

Cost per unit                      $16.66

($68,323 ÷ 4,100)
