Expert Solution
Step 1
  • The total cost of direct materials and labour as well as the total cost of manufacturing overhead can be added together to get the total cost of the product.
  • Cost per unit is determined by adding fixed and variable costs together, then dividing the total number of units produced during a specified time period.
  • Gross margin, a measure of profitability, contrasts a company's gross profit with its revenue or sales. A company's gross margin is displayed as a percentage. Gross profit is determined by calculating gross sales.
