Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the relevant costs

The question asks for the _incremental manufacturing cost_ when production increases from 20,000 to 20,001 units. This means we need to consider only the variable manufacturing costs, as fixed costs do not change within the relevant range. The relevant costs are:

  • Direct materials: $7.00
  • Direct labor: $4.00
  • Variable manufacturing overhead: $1.50
Step 2: Calculate the incremental manufacturing cost

The incremental manufacturing cost is the sum of the variable manufacturing costs per unit:

$7.00 + $4.00 + $1.50 = $12.50

Final Answer

$12.50
