A total of 1,200 units were sold during the month at a price of $10. Selling and administrative expense for the month, all fixed, totaled $2,400. What is the unit product cost under absorption costing? a.$10 b.$4 c.$7 d.$12 e.$11

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is E: $11

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $6.00

Direct labor 2.00

Variable overhead 1.00

Fixed overhead is $2,000 per month; it is applied to production based on normal activity of 1,000 units.

Unitary fixed overhead= 2000/1000= 2

Total unitary cost under absorption costing= direct material  + direct labor + varibale MOH + fixed MOH= 6 + 2 + 1 + 2= $11
