Explanation / Answer

Unit cost below which Portable Power Company should not go in bidding on the government contract = $23.70

Direct materials (462,500 / 28700)                       = $16.11

Direct labor (1,70,000 / 28,700 )                          = $5.92

Variable factory overhead (47,690 / 28,700) = $1.67

Total cost per unit = $23.70

Or

Add all the costs for 28700 (Excluding fixed FOH) / 28700

= ($4,62,500 + $1,70,000 + $47,690) / 28700

= $6,80,190 / 28700

= $23.70
