Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units produced and sold= 900

Sales price (per unit) $448

Manufacturing costs:

Fixed overhead 50,400

Direct labor (per unit) 35

Direct materials (per unit) 112

Variable overhead (per unit) 70 (for the month)

Marketing and administrative costs:

Fixed costs (for the month) 67,500

Variable costs (per unit) 14

a. Variable manufacturing cost= 35 + 112 + 70= $217

b. Total cost:

Total variable cost= (217 + 14)*900= 207,900

Total fixed cost= 50,400 + 67,500= 117,900

Total cost= $325,800

Total cost per unit= 325,800/900= $362

c. Total variable cost= 217 + 14= $231

d. The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable.

Absorption cost= 217 + (50,400/900)= $273

e. Prime cost= direct material + direct labor

Prime cost= 112 + 35= $147

f. Conversion cost= direct labor + unitary variable overhead

Conversion cost= 35 + 70= $105

g. Profit margin= selling price - total unitary cost

Profit margin= 448 - 362= $86

h. Contribution margin per unit= selling price - total unitary variable cost

Contribution margin per unit= 448 - 231= $217

j. Gross margin per unit= Selling price - absorption cost per unit

Gross margin per unit= 448 - 273= $175
