Direct materials $150 Direct labor 70 Variable overhead (0.70 of direct labor) 49 Fixed overhead (0.30 of direct labor) 21 Manufacturing cost per unit $290 The unassembled scooters are sold to retailers at $450 each. Scootz currently has unused productive capacity that is expected to continue indefinitely; management has concluded that some of this capacity can be used to assemble the scooters and sell them at $495 each. Assembling the scooters will increase direct materials by $5 per scooter, and direct labor by $10 per scooter. Additional variable overhead will be incurred at the normal rates, but there will be no additional fixed overhead as a result of assembling the scooters.
