Prairie, Inc. produces a single product. It has an annual capacity of 10,000 units, but currently uses only 80% of it. Each unit is sold for $50 and requires direct material worth $30 and direct labor worth $5. Manufacturing overhead cost is $10 per unit of which 70% is variable. What is Prairie's total incremental cost incurred to produce each unit?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Variable cost= $42

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each unit is sold for $50

Direct material worth $30

Direct labor worth $5.

Manufacturing overhead cost is $10 per unit of which 70% is variable.

The incremental cost is the variable cost (there is available capacity)

Variable cost= direct material + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead = 30 + 5 + (10*0.7)= $42
