During January, Lang, Inc. produced 10,000 units of product with costs as follows:
Direct materials | $ | 40,000 | |
Direct labor | 22,000 | ||
Variable overhead | 10,000 | ||
Fixed overhead | 90,000 | ||
$ | 162,000 | ||
What is Lang's unit cost for January, calculated on the variable costing basis?
Multiple Choice
$7.20.
$8.50.
$6.20.
$7.50.
$9.50.
Total cost under variable costing will be as follows:
Direct Materials $40,000
Direct Labour $22,000
Variable OH $10,000
Total Variable cost = $72,000
Total Units produced = 10000
Variable cost per unit would be = Total Variable Cost / Total Units produced
= $72,000 / 10000 = $7.20 - Answer Option A
Note: Fixed OH is not considered in the calculation because we're following variable costing method. And fixed cost is not variable in nature and doesn't change as per the units produced. They remain the same irrespective of the production unless there is any significant change in production capacity.
