Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the answer sheet is presented below;

                                 Product Costs

Cost Item                           Direct          Direct    Manufacturing   Period

                                        Materials       Labor    Overhead          Costs

Rent on factory

equipment                                                      $11,500  

Insurance

on factory building                                  $1,780

Raw materials     $80,800

Utility costs for factory                                  $920

Supplies for general office                                              $320

Wages for

assembly line workers               $59,700

Depreciation on office equipment                                   $830  

Miscellaneous materials                        $1,470

Factory manager’s salary                        $6,200

Property taxes on factory building        $420

Advertising for helmets                                                      $14,900

Sales commissions                                                      $10,900

Depreciation on factory building               $1,640

Total                                $80,800     $59,700   $23,930      $26,950  

Now  cost to produce one helmet is

= Total cost to produced ÷ number of helmets produced

= ($80,800 + $59,700 + $23,930) ÷ (10,000)

= ($164,430)  ÷ (10,000)

= $16.44
