Question 1 Report

Total production cost- #360,000

Factory overhead cost- #56,000

Selling price per unit- # 120

Production volume 4000 unitsDetermine the value of prime cost

Answer Details
The prime cost is the sum of direct materials cost and direct labor cost. Direct materials cost is the cost of the raw materials used to produce a product, while direct labor cost is the cost of the labor used to produce the product. Factory overhead cost is the indirect costs of production and does not include direct materials or direct labor costs. Therefore, to calculate the prime cost, we need to subtract the factory overhead cost from the total production cost: Prime cost = Total production cost - Factory overhead cost Prime cost = #360,000 - #56,000 Prime cost = #304,000 So, the value of prime cost is #304,000.
