Mentor corp. has provided the following information for the current year: units produced 3,500 units sale price $ 200 per unit direct materials $ 70 per unit direct labor $ 55 per unit variable manufacturing overhead $ 20 per unit fixed manufacturing overhead $ 350,000 per year variable selling and administrative costs $ 30 per unit fixed selling and administrative costs $ 150,000 per year calculate the unit product cost using absorption costing.

Hence, the unit product cost using absorption costing is $318

Explanation:

For computing the unit product cost, the following things is need to be considered.

1. Direct material = Production units ×  per unit material price

                           = 3,500 × $70

                           =$245,000

2. Direct labor = Production units × per unit labor price

                        = 3,500 × $55

                        = $192,500

3. Variable manufacturing overhead = Production units × per unit variable manufacturing price

                                                             = 3,500 × 20

                                                             = 70,000

4. Fixed manufacturing overhead = $350,000

6. Variable selling and administrative cost = Production units × per unit varaible selling price

= 3,500 × 30

= $105,000

7. Fixed selling and administrative costs = $150,000

Now add these all items and divide by number of units.

So, total cost is equal to

= $245,000 + $192,500 + $70,000 + $350,000 + $105,000 + $150,000

= $1,112,500

And, units produced is = 3,500 units

So, unit product cost = Total cost ÷ units produced

                                   = $1,112,500 ÷ 3,500

                                   = $318

Hence, the unit product cost using absorption costing is $318

b is the correct answer

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
