Round cost per gallon to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Answer:

DETROIT FOUNDRY

                          Cost per gallon

                                                 C23               U2

Unit  produced                         500                300

Direct labor cost                       $3,000             $8,000

Direct materials cost                28,000            18,000

machine set up cost                      144                  336

material handling cost                  624                  384

Machine operating cost                200                 250

Total cost                                    31,968              26,970

cost per gallon :

C23   =   $31,968/500 = $63.94

U2     =   $26,970/300 = $89.9

workings

machine set up per set up hour = $576,000/12,000  =  $48

Material handling per material move =  $96,000/2000 =$48

Machine operation per machine hour =  $500,000/10,000 = $50
