Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. The classification of each cost using the table provided i.e shown in the attachment is presented on the spreadsheet. Kindly find it below

2. Total product cost is

= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead

= $216,000 + $120,000 + $147,300

= $483,300

The product cost includes direct material, direct labor and manufacturing overhead cost

3. Total period cost is

= Selling expenses + Administrative expenses

= $129,000 + $215,000

= $344,000

The period cost includes all selling and admin expenses

4. The total unit product cost is

= Total product cost ÷ Number of units produced

= $483,300 ÷ 30,000 units

= $16.11 per unit
