The following information was collected from the accounting records and production data for the year ending December 31, 2017. 1. 8,100 units of CISCO were produced in the Machining Department. 2. Variable manufacturing costs applicable to the production of each CISCO unit were: direct materials $5.36, direct labor $4.52, indirect labor $0.42, utilities $0.43. 3.
