What is the unit costs for the direct materials assigned to those units? What is the unit costs for plant and equipment depreciation? Assume that yearly plant and equipment depreciation in computed on straight-line basis. e. Assume that the implied cost-behavior patterns in requirement ?d? persist. That is, direct material costs behave as a variable cost, and plant and equipment depreciation behaves as a fixed cost. Repeat the computation in requirement ?d?, assuming that the costs are being predicted for the manufacture of 1.200.000 units of product. How would the total costs be affected. f. As a Management Accountant, explain concisely to the CEO why the units costs differed in requirement ?d? and ?e?.
