Tatum Parks · Answer 1

The minimum price is $78.98

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Monthly production costs for 1,080 units are as follows:

Direct materials $ 41,000

Direct labor 11,500

Variable overhead costs 30,500

Fixed overhead costs 23,000

Total cost $ 106,000

It is estimated that 10 % of the fixed overhead costs assigned to ACT31107 will no longer be incurred if the company purchases ACT31107 from the outside supplier.

Unitary cost = (41,000 + 11,500 + 30,500) / 1,080 + (23,000*0.10) / 1080 = $76.85 + $2.13 = $78.98
