Answer to Question 1

Answer:
a. Total direct cost = 50,000  10 = 500,000
Total hours = 500  30 = 15,000
Direct-cost rate per unit = 500,000/15,000 = 33.33 per hour

b. Indirect-cost rate per unit = 250,000/15,000 = 16.67 per hour
c. Total cost = 33.33 + 16.67 = 50.00
d. Total direct cost =500,000
Total hours = 500  25 = 12,500
Direct-cost per unit = 500,000/12,500 = 40.00 per hour
Indirect-cost per unit = 250,000/12,500 = 20 per hour
Total cost =40.00 + 20.00 = 60.00. Thus we notice a (60  50) = 10 increase in overall cost.
