Actual costing uses the the actual costs incurred to calculate cost per unit. All you need is the actual costs and the number of units produced/manufactured, divide the two and you will have your actual cost per unit. The same process for overhead allocation as well. The actual overhead costs are allocated on a rate that is based on actual costs. Actual costing is a delayed analysis.

Normal costing system?
A costing system that traces direct costs to a cost object by using the actual direct-cost rates times the actual quantities of the direct-cost inputs and that allocates indirect costs based on the budgeted indirect-cost rates times the actual quantities of the cost-allocation bases.
