Answer:
Unitary cost= $56
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable manufacturing overhead $15
Direct materials $13
Direct labor $17
Fixed manufacturing overhead $12
Fixed marketing and administrative $11
Under absorption costing, the fixed overhead is allocated to the product cost:
Unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead + fixed overhead
Unitary cost= 13 + 17 + 15 + 11= $56

Answer:
Please find the detailed answer as follows:
Explanation:
a) Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead cost / Estimated total units in the allocation based
Predetermined overhead rate = 600,000 / 500,000 = 1.2 perunit
b) Total fixed cost spending variance = Actual fixed overhead cost - Estimated overhead cost
= 599,400 - 600,000
= 600 (F) Favourable
c) Total fixed cost volume variance = Actual fixed overheads - Estimated fixed overheads
Actual fixed overheads = Estimated fixed overhead rate * Actual units produced
= 1.2 * 508,000 = $609,600
Total fixed cost volume variance =$ 609,600 - $600,000 = $9600 (F) Favourable
So in this case, you would need to find the present value (PV) of the monthly payments. With the information given, you would have a PV= 195,413.08, which is less than the lump sum payment. In this case, you would take the 1 time payment.
Another way to look at this is to calculate the future value (FV) of both payouts. For the lump sum payment, you would assume the same interest rate (6%) and at the end of the same 20 years period, your investment would be worth 662,040.90 while the monthly payment option would be worth 646,857.25
