Explanation:

A) Total Cost= Direct Material+ Direct Labor+ Variable overhead+ Fixed Over Head

T.C= 55,000+160,000+75,000+175,000= 465,000/-

B) Unit Price= T.C/Units

U.P= 465,000/5000

Explanation:

Ortiz Co.

Before

Direct Materials: $55,000

Direct Labour: $160,000

Variable Overhead: $75,000

Fixed Overhead: $175,000

Total cost = $465,000

Cost per unit = Total cost/units produced = $465,000/5,000=$93

After

Direct Material: $55,000

Direct Labour: $160,000

Variable Overhead: $75,000

Fixed Overhead: ($175,000-$40,000)=$135,000

Total cost = $425,000

Cost per unit = Total cost/units produced = $85
