Direct Materials $149 Direct labor $87 Manufacturing Overhead $39 Unit Product cost $275
Most of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected byvariations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period.However, $11 of the overhead is variable with respectto the numberof bracelets produced.
