You have been asked to estimate the selling price per unit of a new production line of a certain product. Pertinent data are as follows: Direct labor rate Production material Factory overhead Packing costs Desired profit RO 15.00 per hour RO 375 per 100 items 125% of direct labor 25% of direct cost 30% of total manufacturing cost Past experience has shown that 83% learning curve applies to the labor required for production these items. The time to complete the first item has been estimated to be 1.86 hours. Use the estimated time to complete the 50h item as your standard time for the purpose of estimating the unit selling price.
