Answer:
using conventional costing system:
- unit cost mercon = $21.40
- unit cost wurcon = $90.80
total production costs using conventional costing system:
- 4,000 units of mercon = 4,000 x $21.40 = $85,600
- 8,000 units of wurcon = 8,000 x $90.80 = $726,400
Explanation:
Mercon Wurcon
Direct materials cost per unit $9.00 $7.00
Direct labor cost per unit $6.00 $7.00
Direct labor-hours per unit 0.20 2.40
overhead rate applied $6.40 $76.80
Number of units produced 4,000 8,000
overhead rate = total overhead / total direct labor hours = $640,000 / [(4,000 x 0.20) + (8,000 x 2.40)] = $640,000 / 20,000 = $32 per direct labor hour
unit cost mercon = $9 + $6 + $6.40 = $21.40
unit cost wurcon = $7 + $7 + $76.80 = $90.80
