Question

At the beginning of the year, Rangle Company expected to incur $64,000 of overhead costs in producing 6,400 units of product. The direct material cost is $30 per unit of product. Direct labor cost is $40 per unit. During January, 600 units were produced. The total cost of the units made in January was:

Answer 1

Answer:

$48,000

Explanation:

The total cost of the units produced in the month is the sum of the direct and indirect cost. The indirect cost is also known as the overheads.

The direct cost is the sum of the direct labor and direct material cost.

Total direct cost = 600( $30 + $40)

= $42000

Indirect cost = 600/6400 * $64,000

= $6000

The total cost of the units made in January was

= $42000 + $6000

= $48,000

Answer 2

Answer:

The total cost of units made in January is $48,000

Explanation:

The total cost of the units made in January comprises of the direct material cost,direct labor cost as well as the production overhead cost,however, the total cost is analyzed and computed thus:

Direct material cost ($30*600)                             =$18,000

Direct labor cost ($40*600)                                   =$24,000

production overhead($64,000/6400*600)          =$6000

Total cost of the units made in January                 $48,000

The costs of the 600 units produced in the month of January is $48,000'

As per the overhead,since 6400 units would cost $64,000 in overhead,600 units would $64,000/6400*600=$6000
