Required:
1. Compute the projected product cost per bag produced under full costing.
2. Compute the projected product cost per bag under variable costing.
Answer :-
1. Computation of the projected product cost per bag produced under full costing :-
Product cost per bag = Variable manufacturing cost per bag + Fixed manufacturing cost per bag
Product cost per bag = $3.40 + ( $49,300 / 29,000)
Product cost per bag = $3.40 + $1.7
Product cost per bag = $5.10
2. Computation of projected product cost per bag under variable costing:-
Product cost per bag = Variable manufacturing cost per bag
Product cost per bag = $3.40
