Question
Given the following, the standard cost of this item is 2.50 per poundDirect labor per unit.75 hoursDirect labor rate8.00 per hour
Solution
To calculate the standard cost per unit, we need to consider the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and variable overhead per unit.
-
Direct Materials Cost: We know that each unit requires 2 pounds of direct material and the cost of direct material is 2.50/pound = $5.00/unit
-
Direct Labor Cost: Each unit requires 0.75 hours of labor and the labor rate is 16.00/hour = $12.00/unit
-
Variable Overhead Cost: The variable overhead is applied based on the direct labor hours. So, the variable overhead cost per unit is 0.75 hours/unit * 6.00/unit
Adding all these costs together, the standard cost per unit is 12.00/unit (direct labor) + 23.00/unit
So, the standard cost of this item is $23 per unit.
