Verified Answer
Direct materials used = $2,500
Direct labor cost = 45 hours x $15 = $675
Manufacturing overhead cost = $675 x 2.4 = $1,620
Total manufacturing cost = $2,500 + $675 + $1,620 = $4,795
Next, we need to calculate the unit product cost by dividing the total manufacturing cost by the number of units produced.
Unit product cost = $4,795 / 44 = $109.09
Rounding to the nearest cent, the unit product cost for Job P951 is $109.60, which is closest to choice (B).
