Indirect manufacturing costs on the production facilities amounted to $16,500 while general, selling, and administrative expenses totaled $3,000. The company produced 16,000 units and sold 14,000 units at a price of $8.50 a unit.
What is the average cost per unit manufactured?
Cost per unit $23,000 / 16000 1.44 each
Each labor 18,500 / 16,000 1.16 each labor
