    Cost of material handling and assembling per book shelf = $135.0811

    Explanation:

    Material Handling = $7,700 for 10,430 parts

    Assembling = $10,600 for 10,430 parts

    Packaging $2,640 for 1,490 bookshelves.

    Each bookshelf consists 77 parts

    We need to calculate material handling and assembling cost per book shelf.

    Material handling cost per part = $7,700/10,430 = 0.738

    Cost for 77 parts = 0.738 X 77 = $56.826

    Assembling costs per part = $10,600/10,430 = $1.0163

    Cost for 77 parts = $1.0163 X 77 = $78.2551

    Cost of material handling and assembling per book shelf = $56.826 + $78.2551 = $135.0811
