Explanation / Answer

CALCULATION OF COST PER UNIT

VALUE OF ENDING INVENTORY (400 * $108) = $43200

COST OF GOODS SOLD

= BEGINNING INVENTORY + MANUFACTURING COST OF CURRENT PERIOD - ENDING INVENTORY

= $0 + (9100 * $108) - $43200

= $0 + $982800 - $43200

= $939600

NET OPERATING INCOME

= SALES - CGS - VARIABLE SELLING & ADMIN - FIXED SELLING & ADMIN

= (8700 * $124) - $939600 - (8700 * $13) - $9100

= $1078800 - $939600 - $113100 - $9100

= $17000

DIRECT MATERIAL $21 DIRECT LABOUR $63 VARIABLE MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD $9 FIXED MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD ($136500 / 9100) $15 TOTAL MANUFACTURING COST PER UNIT $108
