Explanation / Answer

Material:

Material usage per unit =4.5 pounds+0.2 pounds=4.7 Pounds

Material cost =$4 per unit

Material cost per pound after discount=$4*97.84%+$0.27=$3.9136+$0.27=$4.1836

Material cost per unit=4.7 pounds*$4.1836=$19.66

Direct Labour:

Labour required per unit=1.8 hr+0.26 hr=2.06 hours

Labour cost per hour=$13.80+$3.30=$17.10

Labour cost per unit=$17.10*2.06=$35.23

Manufacturing Overhead:

Manufacturing Overhead=2*$5.8=$11.6

Standard cost per unit=$19.66+$35.23+$11.6=$66.49
