Cost of goods sold per shirt = $5.98

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Direct material = $13,700

Direct labor = $4,800

Factor OH applied = 790*$25 = $19,750

Total production cost = $38,250

No. of units per job ICU2 = 6,400

Cost of goods sold per shirt = Total production cost : No. of units per job ICU2

= $38,250 : 6,400

= $5.98

Hence, Cost of goods per shirt = $5.98
