a) Cost per Unit Calculation for Each EnduroPro94 Smart Phone
To calculate the cost per unit of the EnduroPro94 smartphone, we need to determine
the cost of each material/input used in the production of one phone. The total cost per
unit will include the cost of cobalt, other metals, labour, other materials, and allocated
manufacturing overheads.
