d, $8.53

Respuesta :

Answer:

c. $8.00 per unit

Explanation:

Standard direct material cost per unit of finished product =

Raw material required for each unit of the product = 2 pounds

Therefore, raw material for 12,000 units of finished product = 12,000 [tex]\times[/tex] 2 = 24,000 pounds

Standard cost of 24,000 pounds of material for $4 per pound = 24,000 [tex]\times[/tex] $4 = $96,000

Cost per unit of finished product = [tex]\frac{Cost}{Number \: of\: units} = \frac{96,000}{12,000} = 8[/tex]

c. $8.00 per unit
