Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Actual manufacturing costs = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead cost
Actual manufacturing costs = (12,200 pounds × $4.80 per pound) + (5,950 hours × $8.00 per hour) + $29,920 = $58,560 + $47,600 + $29,920 = $136,080
Actual manufacturing costs per unit = $136,080 ÷ 5,800 units = $23.46
