Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

$671.92

Explanation:

Note: The full question is attached as picture below

Product R3

Labor-related cost = 40736/7200*5400

Labor-related cost = $30,552

Production orders = 65970/1600*1000

Production orders = $41,231

Order size = 433175/7100*3100

Order size = $189,133

Total overhead = Labor-related cost + Production orders + Order size

Total overhead = $30,552 + $41,231 + $189,133

Total overhead = $260,916

Annual production and sales of Product of R3 = 900 u nit

Overhead cost per unit = Total overhead / Unit

Overhead cost per unit = $260,916 / 900

Overhead cost per unit = $289.92

Direct material = $226

Direct labor = (26*6) = $156

Unit product cost = Overhead cost per unit + Direct material + Direct labor

Unit product cost = $289.92 + $226 + $156

Unit product cost = $671.92.
