    Total cost = $2,000

    Unitary cost = 2 per unit

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Lot=100 skateboards

    Direct materials = $600

    Direct labor costs = $200

    Overhead is applied using a rate of 150% of direct materials costs.

    To calculate the total cost, first, we need to allocate overhead:

    Allocated MOH = Estimated manufacturing overhead rate * Actual amount of allocation base

    Allocated MOH = 1.50*600 = $900

    Total cost = 900 + 200 + 900 = $2,000

    Unitary cost = total cost/number of units

    Unitary cost = 2,000/100 = $2 per unit
