0.5 pounds of alloy at $2.30 per pound | | |
Direct labor per unit | | |
0.02 hours at $27 per hour | | |
Overhead per unit | | |
Indirect materials | $ | 0.60 |
Indirect labor | | 0.70 |
Utilities | | 0.45 |
Plant and equipment depreciation | | 0.95 |
Miscellaneous | | 0.65 |
Total overhead per unit | $ | 3.35 |
