Question 17 options: $263.75 $62.50 $170.24 $156.25

Answer 1

Answer:

$170.24

Explanation:

The prime cost are the direct manufactured product's costs

raw materials + direct labors

Direct materials     550,000

Direct labor            880,000

total prime cost   1,430,000

Units manufactured 8,400

Prime Cost per unit =  cost / units

1,430,000 / 8,400 = 170.238095238 = 170.24
