Answer:
Unit cost= $5,5unit
Explanation:
Total manufacturing cost is the aggregate amount of cost incurred by a business to produce goods in a reporting period.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that the cost of goods sold shall consist of:
the cost of direct materials
the cost of direct labor
the cost of manufacturing overhead
Expenses that are outside of the manufacturing facilities, such as selling, general and administrative expenses, are not product costs. They are reported as expenses on the income statement in the accounting period in which they occur.
<u>In this exercise:</u>
Cost of goods manufactured:
Direct materials= $13700
Direct Labor=$4800
Factory overhead= 800hours*$25=$20000
Total= $38500
Unit cost= 38500/7000=$5,5unit
