Hershey · Answer 1

unit Cost 128

Explanation:

For absorption costing the fixed manufacturing overhead will be capitalize through finished goods inventory along with the variable cost.

To calculate hte fixed cost, we will divide our expected fixed manufacturing cost over the production.

441,000 fixed manufacturing / 7,000 units = $ 63 fixed per unit

Now, we add together all the cost component:

Direct Materials 51

Labor 12

Variable MO 2

Fixed MO 63

Unit Cost 128

This will be the unit cost under absorption cost.

Notice the S&A expenses are not capitalize. Those are expenses for the period.
