Direct materials for the month amounted to $111,500. Direct labor for the month was $206,500. During the month, 12,500 units were produced. Required: a. No changes are expected in these cost relations next month. The firm has budgeted production of 16,250 units. Provide an estimate for total production cost for next month. b. Determine the cost per unit of production for the previous month and the next month.

1. Total Production Cost = $413400

2. Cost per unit of production for the previous month = $25.44

Cost per unit of production for the next month = $25.44

Explanation:

GIVEN:

Direct Material for 12,500 unit = $111,500

Direct Labor for 12,500 unit = $206,500

Calculate:

Direct Material for 16,250 unit = $111,500*16,250/12,500 = $144,950

Direct Labor for 16,250 unit = $206,500*16,250/12,500 = $268,450

Total Production Cost = Direct labor + Direct materials + Factory Overheads

Total Production Cost = $144,950 + $268,450

Total Production Cost = $413,400

Cost per unit of production = Total Production Cost / Total unit

For Previous month = ($111,500 + $206,500) / 12,500

= $318000 / 12,500

= $25.44

For Next month = ($413400) / 16,250

= $25.44
