Answer 1

a. Product cost

Product costs
	Per unit	12000 units
Direct Materials	$                    6.60	$      79,200.00
Direct Labor	$                    3.40	$      40,800.00
Variable Manufacturing Overhead	$                    1.70	$      20,400.00
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead	$                  13.60	$    163,200.00
	$                  25.30	$    303,600.00

b. Variable Cost per unit

Variable costs
	Per unit
Direct Materials	$                    6.60
Direct Labor	$                    3.40
Variable Manufacturing Overhead	$                    1.70
Sales Commission	$                    0.60
Variable Administrative expenses	$                    0.50
Total Variable cost per unit	$                  12.80

c. Variable costs for 11000 units = 11000 x $12.80 = $140800

d. Contribution Margin per unit = Selling Price - Variable cost per unit
= $19.40 - $12.80 = $6.60 per unit

e. Incremental Manufacturing costs

Variable costs
	Per unit
Direct Materials	$             6.60
Direct Labor	$             3.40
Variable Manufacturing Overhead	$             1.70
Total Incremental Manufacturing cost per unit	$           11.70
