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.

Martinez Company’s relevant range of production is 7,500 units to 12,500 units. When it produces and sells 10,000 units, its average costs per unit are as follows:     Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 6.50 Direct labor $ 4.00 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.60 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 4.00 Fixed selling expense $ 3.50 Fixed administrative expense $ 2.20 Sales commissions $ 1.20 Variable administrative expense $ 0.45   13.
