Answer:
The per-unit cost under absorption costing is greater than the variable per-unit cost by $1.50.
Explanation:
Units costs under variable costing include only the variable manufacturing costs.
<u>Manufacturing Costs - Variable Costing</u>
Direct Materials used in production: $35,000
Cost of Direct Labor wages: $40,000
Variable Manufacturing Overhead: $30,000
Total Costs $105,000
Unit Cost = $105,000/ 50,000
= $2.10
Units costs under absorption costing include both the variable manufacturing costs and fixed manufacturing costs.
<u>Manufacturing Costs - Absorption Costing</u>
Direct Materials used in production: $35,000
Cost of Direct Labor wages: $40,000
Variable Manufacturing Overhead: $30,000
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead: $75,000
Total Costs $180,000
Unit Cost = $180,000/ 50,000
= $3.60
Difference :
Unit Cost - Absorption Costing $3.60
Less Unit Cost - Variable Costing $2.10
Difference $1.50
Conclusion :
The per-unit cost under absorption costing is greater than the variable per-unit cost by $1.50.
