Stefani Company has gathered the following information about its product. Direct materials: Each unit of product contains 3.90 pounds of materials. The average waste and spoilage per unit produced under normal conditions is 1.10 pounds. Materials cost $4 per pound, but Stefani always takes the 2.00% cash discount all of its suppliers offer. Freight costs average $0.40 per pound. Direct labor. Each unit requires 1.60 hours of labor. Setup, cleanup, and downtime average 0.10 hours per unit. The average hourly pay rate of Stefani’s employees is $10.90. Payroll taxes and fringe benefits are an additional $3.20 per hour. Manufacturing overhead. Overhead is applied at a rate of $7.60 per direct labor hour. Compute Stefani’s total standard cost per unit

$58.49 per unit

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We can calculate the total standard cost by using following formula:-

Material Cost Per Unit = Material Cost × (1 - Cash Discount Rate) + Freight Average Cost

= $4 × (1 - 0.02) + .40

= $4 × 0.98 + .40

= $4.32 per pound

Material Used Per Unit = Each Unit Product Contain Material + Average Waste and Spoilage Per Unit Produced

= 3.90 + 1.10

= 5

Direct Material Cost=  Material Cost Per Unit × Material Used Per Unit

= $4.32 × 5

= $21.6 per unit

Cost Per hour = Average hour Pay Rate + Payroll Taxes and Fringe Benefits Cost

= $10.90 + $3.20

= $14.1

Direct Labor hour = Cost Per hour × Each Unit Required hour

= $14.1 × (1.60 + 0.10)

= $14.1 × 1.70

= $23.97 per unit  

Manufacturing Overhead

= Overhead Applied Rate Per Direct Labor hour × Each Unit Required Hour

= $7.60 × (1.60 + 0.10)

= $7.60 × 1.70

= $12.92 per unit

Total Standard Cost Per Unit = Direct Material Cost + Direct Labor Cost + Manufacturing Overhead

= $21.6 + $23.97 + $12.92

= $58.49 per unit
