Question

please help, and explain. thank you!

Bell Company, a manufacturer of audio systems, started its production in October 2017. For the preceding 3 years, Bell had been a retailer of audio systems. After a thorough survey of audio system markets, Bell decided to turn its retail store into an audio equipment factory. Raw materials cost for an audio system will total $75 per unit. Workers on the production lines are on average paid $13 per hour. An audio system usually takes 5 hours to complete. In addition, the rent on the equipment used to assemble audio systems amounts to $5,000 per month. Indirect materials cost $5 per system. A supervisor was hired to oversee production; her monthly salary is $3,100. Factory janitorial costs are $1,400 monthly. Advertising costs for the audio system will be $8,600 per month. The factory building depreciation expense is $6,000 per year. Property taxes on the factory building will be $8,400 per year. Your answer is partially correct. Assuming that Bell manufactures, on average, 1,400 audio systems per month, enter each cost item on your answer sheet, placing the dollar amount per month under the appropriate headings. Total the dollar amounts in each of the columns.

Wages are $13 per hour and 5 hours are required to build a system total wages = 13 x 5 x1400 =91000 Indirect material required at $5 per system and 1400 syatem are produced Yearly depreciation is 6000 so monthly is 6000/12 = 500 Yearly property tax is 8400 so monthly is 8400/12 = 700 other monthly expenses are given in the question b. $ Add Add Direct Materials Direct Labor Manufacturing Overhead Total Cost Total Units Cost per unit $ $ $ 105,000 91,000 17,700 213,700 1400 152.64 (213700 / 1400) Divide
