Therefore when 100,000 units are produced fixed costs will remain at $10 per unit.5) Unit costs and average costs are really the same thing.6) Wheel and Tire Manufacturing currently produces 1,000 tires per month. The following per unit data apply for sales to regular customers:Direct materials$20Direct manufacturing labour3Variable manufacturing overhead6Fixed manufacturing overhead  10Total manufacturing costs$39The plant has capacity for 3,000 tires and is considering expanding production to 2,000 tires.

Total indirect manufacturing costs for January were $300 million, and were allocated to each product on the basis of direct manufacturing labour costs of each line. Summary data for January for the most popular electronic storage device, the Big Bertha, was:Big BerthaDirect manufacturing costs$9000000Direct manufacturing labour costs$3000000Indirect manufacturing costs$8500000Units produced40000Required:A.Compute the total manufacturing cost per unit for each product produced in January.b.Suppose production will be reduced to 30,000 units in February. If indirect manufacturing costs include fixed costs then explain if the total cost per unit be higher or lower than in January.
