Assume the following information: Direct Materials $40 per unit Direct Labor $20 per unit Total Estimated Manufacturing Overhead $8,400,000 Manufacturing overhead is allocated based on estimated direct-labor hours. Each unit of product requires 1 direct labor hour. Calculate the cost of one unit of product, assuming that the overhead per unit is based on supervisor's preferred estimate of 420,000 hours.
