To determine

To identify: The variable cost per unit.

Variable Cost: Variable cost refers the cost which varies due to the change in the level of production. Higher the production level, higher is the variable cost, and lowers the production level, lower is the variable cost.

Answer to Problem 24P

Variable selling expense is $12,000.

Variable administrative expense is $4,000.

Units produced and sold are $1,000.

Formula to calculate variable cost per unit,

  $\text{Variable cost}\text{per}\text{unit}=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Direct}\text{material}+\text{Direct}\text{labour}\\ +\text{Variable}\text{manufacturing}\text{overhead}\\ \text{+Variable selling expense}\\ +\text{Variable administrative expense}\end{array}\right)}{\text{Units}\text{produced}\text{and}\text{sold}}$

Substitute $69,000 for direct material, $35,000 for direct labor, $15,000 for total variable manufacturing overhead, $12,000 for variable selling expense, $4,000 for variable administrative expense and 1,000 for units produced and sold.

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Variable cost}\text{per}\text{unit}=\frac{\$69,000+\$35,000+\$15,000+\$12,000+\$4,000}{1,000}\\ =\frac{\$135,000}{1,000}\\ =\$135\end{array}$

Conclusion

Hence, variable cost per unit produced and sold is $135.

Incremental Manufacturing cost: Incremental manufacturing cost is the increase in the total cost incurred to manufacture a product which includes the cost of material used, labor cost and manufacturing overheads.

Answer to Problem 24P

Solution: Total incremental manufacturing cost is $119.

Explanation of Solution

Given,

Direct material is $69,000.

Fixed manufacturing overhead is $28,000.

Direct labor is $35,000.

Variable manufacturing overhead is $15.

Formula to calculate per unit variable manufacturing cost,

  $\text{Per variable}\text{manufacturing cost}=\frac{\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Direct}\text{material}+\text{Direct}\text{labour}\\ +\text{Total}\text{variable}\text{manufacturing}\text{overhead}\end{array}\right)}{\text{Units}\text{produced}\text{and}\text{sold}}$

Substitute $69,000 for direct material, $35,000 for direct labor, $15,000 for total variable manufacturing overhead and 1,000 for units produced and sold.

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Per}\text{variable}\text{manufacturing cost}=\frac{\$69,000+\$35,000+\$15,000}{1,000}\\ =\frac{\$119,000}{1,000}\\ =\$119\end{array}$

Only variable manufacturing cost will increase as fixed cost remains constant irrespective of units sold, therefore incremental manufacturing cost is equal to the variable cost per unit.

Conclusion

Hence, total incremental manufacturing cost is $119.
