The company, which is currently operating below full capacity, charges factory overhead to production at the rate of 38% of direct labor cost. The fully absorbed unit costs to produce comparable carrying cases are expected to be as follows:
Direct materials$28.00
Direct labor19.00
Factory overhead (38% of direct labor)7.22
Total cost per unit$54.22
If Matchless Computer Company manufactures the carrying cases, fixed factory overhead costs will not increase and variable factory overhead costs associated with the cases are expected to be 12% of the direct labor costs.
