Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

It is given that first unit took 4,000 hours to complete and the cost for materials and equipment usage is $30,000. Second unit took 3,200 hours to complete and the cost for materials and equipment usage is $21,000. Labor cost is given as $18 per hour.

Determine the last unit (22nd unit) cost to build:

Labor learning rate=3,2004,000=80%

Material learning rate=21,00030,000=70%

Labor cost for 22nd unit=4,000×0.3697×$18=$26,618.40

Machine cost for 22nd unit=30,000×0.2038=$6,114.00

Total amount for 22nd unit=$26,618.40+$6,114.00=$32,732.40

Hence, the last unit cost is $32,732.40.
