respectively.
d. Product JenLisa has P198.33 and Product ChaeSoo has P752.50 manufacturing cost per unit.

Solution:
Manufacturing cost;
Product JenLisa; Prime cost P100,000 + Overhead 39,000 = P139,000
Product ChaeSoo; Prime cost P200,000 + Overhead 121,000 = P321,000

Manufacturing cost per unit;

Product JenLisa; P139,000 / 600 = P231.67
Product ChaeSoo; P321,000 / 400 = P802.50
