Unit Product Cost Formula
The following equation is used to calculate a unit product cost.
C = ( DM + DL + O ) / U
- Where C is the unit product cost
- DM is the direct material costs
- DL is the direct labor costs
- O is the factory overhead costs
- U is the total units produced
To calculate a unit product cost, sum the material, labor, and overhead costs, then divide by the number of units produced.
Unit Product Cost Definition
