Answer 1

Answer:

Basic = $140.82

Dominator = $392.216

Explanation:

For Basic:

Total cost for Basic:

= Direct materials costs + Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead

= $ 11,000 + $72,000 + $128,232

= $211,232

Per unit cost:

= Total cost for Basic ÷ Number of units produced

= $211,232 ÷ 1,500

= $140.82

For Dominator:

Total cost for Dominator:

= Direct materials costs + Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead

= $3,500 + $34,000 + $60,554

= $98,054

Per unit cost:

= Total cost for Basic ÷ Number of units produced

= $98,054 ÷ 250

= $392.216

Workings:

Manufacturing overhead (Basic):

= Manufacturing overhead costs × (Direct labor costs ÷ Total direct labor costs)

= $188,786 × ($72,000 ÷ $106,000)

= $128,232

Manufacturing overhead (Dominator):

= Manufacturing overhead costs × (Direct labor costs ÷ Total direct labor costs)

= $188,786 × ($34,000 ÷ $106,000)

= $60,554
