Russell · Answer 1

Unit product cost = $107

Explanation:

Absorption costing is a method of costing where production units and inventories are value at the full cost per unit. Here, fixed overheads are charged to all units produced using an overhead absorption rate

The full cost per unit = D. mat cost + D. labour cost + Variable overheads + Fixed overheads

Fixed production overhead cost per unit

=Fixed manufacturing overhead/units produced

= $43,700 / 1,900 Units

=$23 per unit

Full cost per unit

= $42 + $31 + $11 + 23

= $107
