Cost per Unit Cost per Period Direct materials $ 7.05 Direct labor $ 3.50 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.65 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 11,000 Sales commissions $ 1.00 Variable administrative expense $ 0.40 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 5,500

Explanation / Answer

Question 1

The incremental manufacturing cost is only the variable costs that the Company would incur in relation to the manufacture, since Fixed costs would not increase as a result of the additional production. Hence, it is computed as:+

Direct Material + Direct Labour + Variable Manf. Overhead = 7.05 + 2.5 + 1.65 = 11.2

Hence the Answer is closes to 12.2

Question 2

The predetermined fixed overhead rate is 738000/30000 = 24.6.
