The value is calculated based on what you entered in the Direct Unit Cost and Indirect Cost % fields, as follows.
Unit Cost= Direct Unit Cost * (1 + (Indirect Cost% / 100))
The value in the Unit Cost field may also be updated as a result of the Implement Standard Cost Change batch job, which you use after you have calculated new resource costs as a result of cost changes in Assembly BOMs.
You can change this amount, but be aware that if you do change it, the direct unit cost and indirect cost percentage are not adjusted.
