    The manufacture of a product is expected to involve the following costs

    Fixed Variable
    Raw materials – $7.50 per unit produced
    Direct labour – $5.00 per unit produced
    Factory overheads $500,000 $2.50 per unit produced
    Selling and administration costs $200,000 $2.50 per unit sold
    Sales price
    $50 per unit sold
    If normal activity is 50,000 units produced and sold, what is the absorption cost of a unit of finished goods inventory?

    see here i had calculated
    50000/50=1000units
    then factory o/h =$500000/1000=$500
    so, now for absorption cost per unit calculation we add dm +dl+var cost+factory cost (500/50)why?
    i could nt understand it why they do 50000/50 i am wrong pls explain

    The question says that they produce 50,000 units. You have taken 50,000/50 which would only be correct if the sales in total were $50,000. However they are not $50,000, they are 50,000 units.
