Ellerson Company provided the following information for the last calendar year: During the year, direct materials purchases amounted to 278,000, direct labor cost was 189,000, and overhead cost was 523,000. During the year, 100,000 units were completed. Required: 1. Calculate the total cost of direct materials used in production. 2. Calculate the cost of goods manufactured. Calculate the unit manufacturing cost. 3. Of the unit manufacturing cost calculated in Requirement 2, 2.70 is direct materials and 5.30 is overhead. What is the prime cost per unit? Conversion cost per unit?
At an activity level of 8,700 machine-hours in a month, Falks Corporation’s total variable production engineering cost is $728,190 and its total fixed production engineering cost is $232,290. What would be the total production engineering cost per machine-hour, both fixed and variable, at an activity level of 8,900 machine-hours in a month? Assume that this level of activity is within the relevant range. (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
