Answer 

Certainly! To determine the cost per item in a manufacturing setup where you have multiple items but only the total number of pieces and total expenses available, you can use the following approach:

Costing Formula for Per Item Value

To calculate the cost per item, you can use the formula:

$\text{Cost Per Item} = \frac{\text{Total Expenses}}{\text{Total Number of Pieces}}$

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. Determine Total Expenses: This includes all costs associated with manufacturing, such as direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overheads.

2. Determine Total Number of Pieces: This is the total quantity of all items produced.

3. Apply the Formula:

   • Cost Per Item: Divide the total expenses by the total number of pieces.

Example Calculation

Assume you have the following data:

• Total Expenses: ₹500,000
• Total Number of Pieces: 10,000

Using the formula:

$\text{Cost Per Item} = \frac{500,000}{10,000} = ₹50$

So, the cost per item would be ₹50.

Applying the Formula in Different Scenarios

1. For a Single Item

If you want to find the cost per item for a single product where you have specific expenses and production quantities for that item, use the formula:

$\text{Cost Per Item} = \frac{\text{Total Expenses for Item}}{\text{Number of Pieces of That Item}}$

2. For Multiple Items

If you have multiple items and you need to find the average cost per item across all products:

1. Sum Up Total Expenses for all items.
2. Sum Up Total Number of Pieces for all items.
3. Apply the Formula for the overall cost per item.

Additional Cost Components

If your expenses are categorized and you need a more detailed breakdown:

1. Direct Materials: Cost of raw materials used.

2. Direct Labor: Wages paid to workers directly involved in production.

3. Manufacturing Overhead: All other manufacturing costs like utilities, depreciation, etc.

   Calculate each cost component and then sum them up.

Detailed Cost Calculation Formula

If you need to break down into components:

$\text{Total Cost} = \text{Direct Materials} + \text{Direct Labor} + \text{Manufacturing Overhead}$

Then, calculate the cost per item:

$\text{Cost Per Item} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Total Number of Pieces}}$

Example with Detailed Components

Assume the following expenses:

• Direct Materials: ₹300,000
• Direct Labor: ₹100,000
• Manufacturing Overhead: ₹100,000
• Total Number of Pieces: 10,000

Calculate total cost:

$\text{Total Cost} = 300,000 + 100,000 + 100,000 = ₹500,000$

Then, cost per item:

$\text{Cost Per Item} = \frac{500,000}{10,000} = ₹50$

Conclusion

To determine the cost per item, simply divide the total expenses by the total number of pieces. If detailed expense categories are available, sum them up to get the total cost and then divide by the number of pieces. This approach ensures you get an accurate per-item cost based on the available data.
