Randolph · Answer 1

Unitary product cost = $54

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production = 23,000 units

Direct materials = $23 per unit

Direct labor = $19 per unit

Variable overhead = $276,000

Under the variable costing method, the unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable overhead.

Unitary overhead = 276,000/23,000 = $12 per unit

Unitary product cost = 23 + 19 + 12 = $54
