Answer:

Slapshot Company

The total production is $98,000 with a unit cost of $49 per hockey stick.

The selling price per unit should be above $49 when marked-up.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Direct materials (wood, paint, Kevlar, and resin)        $26,000

Direct labor (10 workers x 100 hours x $20 per hour) 20,000

Manufacturing overhead equaled                                52,000

Total production costs =                                             $98,000

Production of hockey stick = 2,000 units

Unit cost of hockey stick = $49 ($98,000/2,000)
