Lusk Corporation produces and sells 14,500 units of Product X each month. The selling price of Product X is $27 per unit, and variable expenses are $21 per unit.

The SP Corporation makes 44,000 motors to be used in the production of its sewing machines. The average cost per motor at this level of activity is:

Direct materials	$	10.30
Direct labor	$	9.30
Variable manufacturing overhead	$	3.85
Fixed manufacturing overhead	$	4.80
