  1. Gent Designs requires three units of part A for every unit of A1 that it produces. Currently, part A is made by Gent, with these per-unit costs in a month when 4,000 units were produced:

    Direct materials $4.00
    Direct labor 1.50
    Manufacturing overhead 1.20
    Total $6.70

    Variable manufacturing overhead is applied at $1.00 per unit. The other $0.20 of overhead consists of allocated fixed costs. Gent will need 5,900 units of part A for the next year’s production.
