Required:
a. Compute the following:
variable manufacturing cost per unit
full cost per unit
variable cost per unit
full absorption cost per unit
prime cost per unit
conversion cost per unit
profit margin per unit
contribution margin per unit
gross margin per unit
Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = Fixed overhead / units
= $14,000 / 1,400 units
= $10
Fixed marketing and administrative costs = Fixed costs / units
= $22,400 / 1,400 units
= $16
Variable manufacturing cost per unit = Direct labor + Direct material + Variable manufacturing overhead
= $9 + $33 + $23
= $65
Full cost per unit = Total variable cost per unit + Total fixed cost per unit
= ($9 + 33 + 23 + $4) + ($10 + $16)
= $69 + $26
= $95
Variable cost per unit = Direct labor + Direct materials + Variable manufacturing overhead + Variable marketing and administrative costs
= $9 + $33 + $23 + $4
= $69
Full absorption cost per unit = Direct labor + Direct materials + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead
= $9 + $33 + $23 + $10
= $75
Prime cost per unit = Direct labor + Direct materials
= $9 + $33
= $42
Conversion cost per unit = Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead
= $9 + $23 + $10
= $42
Profit margin per unit = Sales price per unit - Full cost per unit
= $124 - $95
= $29
Contribution margin per unit = Sales price - variable cost
= $124 - $69
= $55
Gross margin per unit = Sales price - Full absorption cost
= $124 - $75
= $49
