Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standard variable cost per unit = Standard direct materials cost per unit + Standard direct labor cost per unit + Standard variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit
$78 per unit = (12 feet per unit × SP) + (1.5 hours per unit × $12 per hour) + (1.5 hours per unit × $8 per hour)
$78 per unit = (12 feet per unit × SP) + ($18 per unit) + ($12 per unit)
12 feet per unit × SP = $78 per unit - $18 per unit - $12 per unit
12 feet per unit × SP = $48 per unit
SP = $48 per unit ÷ 12 feet per unit
SP = $4 per foot
