Question

Parsons Company is planning to produce 2,900 units of product in 2020. Each unit requires 2.00 pounds of materials at $7.00 per pound and a half-hour of labor at $16.00 per hour. The overhead rate is 60% of direct labor.
(a) Compute the budgeted amounts for 2020 for direct materials to be used, direct labor, and applied overhead.
Direct materials
Direct labor
Overhead
(b) Compute the standard cost of one unit of product. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.75.)
Standard cost $

Answer 1

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total cost of producing 2,900 units:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= (2*7)*2,900 + (0.5*16)*2,900 + [(0.5*16)*0.6]*2,900

Total cost= 40,600 + 23,200 + 13,920

Total cost= $77,720

Now, the unitary standard cost:

Unitary cost= total cost/number of units

Unitary cost= 77,720 / 2,900

Unitary cost= $26.8
