C-Cubed makes bikes. It's standard bike is called the Speed Racer. C-Cubed's relevant range of production for the Speed Racer is 300 to 400 units. It sells the Speed Racer for $750. When it produces and sells 300 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Direct Materials Direct Labor S75 S50 Variable Manufacturing Overhead $40 Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Fixed Selling Expense Fixed Administrative Expense $60 $35 $20 $25 Sales Commissions Variable Administrative Expense $15 Assume C-Cubed uses Absorption Costing. What is the total amount of product costs incurred to make 375 units? Multiple Choice $80,475 $79.875 $61,875 $84,375

Cost to produce 375 units
Particulars |
Amt ($) |
Direct materials ($75 * 375) |
28,125 |
Direct Labor ($50 * 375) |
18,750 |
Variable manufacturing overhead ($40 * 375) |
15,000 |
Fixed manufacturing overhead ($60 * 300) |
18,000 |
Total amount of production cost |
79,875 |
Note: Fixed manufacturing overhead remains the same, it does not change with change in unit production , so it is calculated on the basis of 300 units as fixed cost was distributed across 300 units earlier and it will remain same for 375 units.
