Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. The classification of estimated manufacturing overhead is shown below:-

Direct materials =  Product cost

Direct labor = Product cost

Manufacturing overhead = Product cost

Selling expense = Period cost

2. The computation of total product cost for last month is shown below:-

= Direct materials + direct labors + manufacturing overhead

= $7,000 + $3,000 + $2,000

= $12,000

3. And, the unit product cost is

= Total product cost ÷ number of units

= $12,000 ÷ 4,000 units

= $3 per unit
