What is the production cost?
Answer Details
To find the production cost, we need to add the cost of raw materials used, direct labor cost, and factory overheads (electricity and depreciation of plant).
The cost of raw materials used can be calculated as follows:
Raw materials used = Opening stock of raw materials + Purchases - Closing stock of raw materials
= 5,800 + 19,000 - 4,500
= 20,300
The factory overheads can be calculated as:
Factory overheads = Electricity + Supervisor's salary + Depreciation of plant
= 2,500 + 5,500 + 1,500
= 9,500
Therefore, the production cost can be calculated as:
Production cost = Raw materials used + Direct labor cost + Factory overheads
= 20,300 + 4,000 + 9,500
= N33,800
Hence, the answer is N33,800.
