Question

Under absorption costing, a company had the following unit costs when 8,000 units were produced. Direct labor $ 8.50 per unit Direct material $ 9.00 per unit Variable overhead $ 6.75 per unit Fixed overhead ($60,000/8,000 units) $ 7.50 per unit Total production cost $ 31.75 per unit Compute the total production cost per unit under variable costing if 25,000 units had been produced.

Answer 1

Answer:

$24,25

Explanation:

Cost per unit (Variable Costing) = Variable manufacturing costs

                                     = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Overheads

                                     =  $ 9.00+$ 8.50+$ 6.75

                                     = $24,25

Therefore, the total production cost per unit under variable costing if 25,000 units had been produced is $24,25
