    ABC Corporation manufactured a new electronic part for Apple’s new cell phone. In particular, it manufactured 100,000 of these parts for Apple’s order. ABC wants to calculate the job cost and the cost per part.

    For this particular job, direct materials were $250,000 and direct labor was $425,000. ABC used 20,000 direct labor hours and 50,000 machine hours.
