    Answer: $15

    Explanation:

    Given the following;

    Direct material cost for product B = $ 15,000

    Direct labor cost for product B = $24,000

    Direct labor for product A = $12,000

    Allocated overhead based on direct labor cost = $54,000

    Number of units of product B produced = 5000

    Total product cost B = Direct labor cost of product B + Direct material cost of product B + overhead cost of product B

    Overhead cost of product B based on direct labor cost = company's allocated overhead * (direct labor cost of product B : Total direct labor cost of product A and B)

    Total direct labor cost of product A and B = $12,000 + $24,000 = $36,000

    Overhead cost of product B based on direct labor cost = $54,000 * ($24,000 / $36,000)

    =$36,000

    Total product cost B = $24,000 + $15,000 + $36,000 = $75,000

    Therefore cost per unit if product B = Total costing of product B : Number of units produced

    = $75,000 : 5000 = $15

    The cost per unit for product B is $ 15 per unit

    Explanation:

    Only Manufacturing Costs are used in Product Costing. Thus to find the Cost Per Unit of Product B, we Prepare a Manufacturing Cost Summary for Product B.

    Step 1 Prepare a Manufacturing Cost Summary for Product B

    Direct materials $ 15,000

    Direct labor $24,000

    Overhead costs ($24,000/$36,000) * $54,000 $36,000

    Total Cost for Product B $75,000

    Step 2 Calculate the Cost Per Unit for Product B

    Cost Per Unit = Total Cost / Number of Units Produced

    = $75,000 / 5,000 units

    = $ 15 per unit
