The standard cost per unit in each division is as follows: Crater Division Dollar Division Direct material $75 $160 Direct labour $80 $110 Manufacturing overhead $550* $360** *Manufacturing overhead is 60% variable and 40% fixed. **Manufacturing overhead is 45% variable and 55% fixed. The Dollar Division can sell the finished product to outsiders at $1,220 per unit.
