) Candy Man, Inc. reports the following information: Beginning Finished Goods Inventory 60 units Units produced 550 units Units sold 610 units Sales price $130 per unit Direct materials $17 per unit Direct labor $10 per unit Variable manufacturing overhead $17 per unit Fixed manufacturing overhead $14,000 per year Variable selling and administrative costs $6 per unit Fixed selling and administrative costs $12,500 per year What is the unit product cost using variable costing

Answer 1

Answer:

$44

Explanation:

Given that

Direct material cost = $17

Direct labor cost = $10

Variable manufacturing overhead = $17

The computation of unit product cost using variable costing is shown below:-

Unit product cost = Direct material cost + Direct labor cost + Variable manufacturing overhead

= $17 per unit + $10 per unit + $17 per unit

= $44

Therefore for computing the unit product cost we simply added the direct material cost, direct labor cost and variable manufacturing overhead.
