Unitary prime cost = $170.24

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Last month, direct materials (electronic components, etc.) costing $550,000 were put into production.

Direct labor = $880,000.

Manufacturing overhead equaled $495,000

The company manufactured 8,400 television sets during the month.

Unitary prime cost = (direct material + direct labor) / number of units

Unitary prime cost = (550000 + 880000) / 8400 = $170.24
