Answer:
$159.1
Explanation:
The computation of the total variable manufacturing cost per unit is shown below;
At 8,600 units,
The total cos is
= (Direct material per unit + Direct labor per unit + Manufacturing cost per unit) × Number of units
= ($98.70 per unit + $25.60 per unit + $73.20 per unit) × 8,600 units
= $197.5 per unit × 8,600 units
= $1,698,500
At 9,600 units
The Total cost
= ($98.70 per unit + $25.60 per unit + $69.20) × 9,600 units
= $193.5 per unit × 9,600 units
= $1,857,600
So, the best estimated would be;
= ($1857,600 - $1,698,500) ÷ (9,600 units - 8,600 units)
= $159,100 ÷ 1,000 units
= $159.1
