Which of the following statements is true of a normal costing system?

1. In a normal costing system, only the costs incurred for direct materials are used to determine unit cost.

3. In a normal costing system, unit costs are determined by adding estimated direct materials, estimated direct labor, and actual overhead.
4. In a normal costing system, unit costs are determined by adding actual direct materials, actual direct labor, and estimated overhead.

Option number 4 is correct,In a normal costing system, unit costs are determined by adding actual direct materials, actual direct labor, and estimated overhead.
