Question

Computing absorption cost per unit and variable cost per unit Adamson, Inc. has the following cost data for Product X:

Answer 1

Answer:

unit cost for 2,000 units=$115

unit cost for 2,500 units =$113

unit cost for 5,000 units= $109

Explanation:

Absorption costing is method of costing where overheads are charged to units produced using volume-based bases. e.g machine hours, labour hours e.t.c. Units are valued using full cost per unit

Full cost per unit= Direct material cost + direct labor cost  + Variable production overhead + Fixed production overhead

Fixed production overhead = Budgeted overhead/Budgeted production units

unit cost for 2,000 units

unit cost = 41 + 57 + 7 + (20,000/2000) = $115

unit cost for 2,500 units

unit cost = 41 + 57 + 7 + (20,000/2,500)= $113

unit cost for 5,000 units

unit cost = 41 + 57 + 7 + (20,000/5,000) = $109

unit cost for 2,000 units=$115

unit cost for 2,500 units =$113

unit cost for 5,000 units= $109
