A Fort Myers trade cost code shows $27,360 for 480 installed units. What installed unit cost should be reported?
Correct Answer
B) $57.00
Installed unit cost equals total cost divided by installed quantity.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Installed unit cost equals total cost divided by installed quantity.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $27,840.00
$27,840.00 is above the supported result for installed unit cost; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Option C: $0.02
$0.02 is below the supported result for installed unit cost; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option D: $65.55
$65.55 is above the supported result for installed unit cost; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
