    Total Manufacturing cost per unit is $53

    Explanation:

    Direct Material Cost = $18

    Direct Labor cost = $5 per hour

    Manufacturing overhead applied = $13 per unit

    Total Activity rate = $30

    Activity based costing is the method of allocation of overhead to the products / department / projects on the basis of uses of activity by each one. As we know that calculating an activity rate which is similar to predetermined overhead rate.

    Total Manufacturing Cost = Direct material cost + Direct Labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost
