The unit product cost is calculated by dividing the total manufacturing costs by the number of units produced. The total manufacturing costs are the sum of direct labor, direct materials used, manufacturing overhead, and the change in work-in-process inventory. The change in work-in-process inventory is calculated by subtracting the beginning work-in-process inventory from the ending work-in-process inventory.In this case, the total manufacturing costs are $150,000 + $269,000 + $135,000 + ($52,900 - $63,000) = $593,900. The number of units produced is 71,220. Therefore, the unit product cost is $593,900 / 71,220 = $7.92 (rounded to the nearest cent).
