How do you find the unit cost?
Here is how to find the cost per unit:
- Cost per unit = (Total fixed costs + Total variable costs) / Total units produced.
- Total fixed cost = Building rent + Direct labor costs + Other fixed costs.
- Total variable cost = Production costs + Customer acquisition costs + Packaging costs + Shipping costs + Other variable costs.
What is a unit cost example?
For example, a company produces 1,000 units that cost $4 per unit and sells the product for $5 per unit. The gain is $5 minus $4, or $1 per unit in revenue. If a unit were priced at $3 per unit, there would be a loss because $3 minus $4 (cost) is a loss of $1 per unit.
