    Prime cost per unit is: a. $7.00

    Explanation:

    Prime costs are direct costs and calculated by the following formula:

    Prime costs = Direct materials + Direct labor

    Prime cost per unit = Prime costs / number of units are produced

    Barnard Company produced and sold 10,000 units. Direct materials were $50,000; Direct labor were $20,000.

    Prime costs = $50,000 + $20,000 = $70,000

    Prime cost per unit = $70,000/10,000 = $7.00
