Explanation / Answer

3.10 + 0.70 = 3.80 pounds of materials needed for each unit
3.80 x $4 = $15.2 normal materials cost per unit
15.2 x 0.99 = $15.05 with discount
3.80 x 0.25 = $.95 freight cost per unit


2.10 + 0.20 = 2.30 direct labor hours per unit
2.30 x (12.60 + 2.30) = $34.27 labor per unit


2.30 x 4.90 = $11.27 overhead per unit

15.05+.95 + 34.27 + 11.27 = $61.54 standard cost per unit
