xeze [42]

Answer:

Total cost= $2,008,608

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production 11,800 units 13,000 units

Direct materials: $761,100 -  $838,500

Direct labor: $241,900 -  $266,500

Manufacturing overhead: $1,010,800 - $1,035,280

First, we need to calculate the unitary cost for each level of production and choose the lower cost for each:

11,800 units:

Direct material= 761,100/11,800= $64.5

Direct labor= 241,900/11,800= $20.5

Variable overhead= 1,010,800/11,800= $85.66

Total unitary cost= 170.66

13,000 units:

Direct material= 838,500/13,000= 64.5

Direct labor= 266,500/13,000= $20.5

Variable overhead= 1,035,280 /13,000= $79.64

Total unitary cost= 164.64

<u>Total cost for 12,200 units:</u>

Total cost= 12,200*164.64= $2,008,608
