Giving the following information:

Job #266 consists of:

2,500 tiles; each tile sells for $12.00.

The following direct materials were requisitioned for Job #266:

Basic terra cotta tiles: 2,500 units at $4.00 per unit

Specialty paint: 5 quarts at $7.00 per quart

High gloss glaze: 4 quarts at $12.00 per quart

Labor time records show the following employees worked on Job #266:

Alice Cooper: 18 hours at $24 per hour

Matthew Kline: 20 hours at $13 per hour

Sierra Ceramics allocates manufacturing overhead at a rate of $27 per direct labor hour.

Gross profit = Sales - direct materials - direct labor - manufacturing overhead

Sales = 2500*12 = $30,000

Direct materials:

Basic terra cotta tiles: 2,500*$4.00 = $10,000

Specialty paint: 5*$7.00 = $35

High gloss glaze: 4*$12.00 = $48

Total = $10.083

Direct labor:

Alice Cooper: 18*$24 = $432

Matthew Kline: 20*$13 = $260

Total = $692

Manufacturing overhead = $27*38hours = $1026

Gross profit = 30000 - 10083 - 692 - 1026 = $18,199

Gross profit per unit = 18199/2500 = $7.28
