Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The total manufacturing cost is

Particulars           Assembly     Testing & Packing     Total

Direct materials    380                   41                           421

Direct labor           187                    99                          286

Overhead applied 170                   72                          242

Total                        737                  212                        949

Total manufacturing cost $949  

2    

Unit product cost $94.90 ($949 ÷ 10 per unit)

Workings:    

Overhead applied:    

Assembly 170 ((187 ÷ 22) × 20)  

Testing & Packing 72 ((99 ÷ 22) × 16)
