b. What is the total period cost?

Answer 1

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The product costs are all the expenses incurred in production being direct and indirect:

Direct materials= 86,000

Direct labor= 43,500

Variable manufacturing overhead= 21,800

Fixed manufacturing overhead= 33,100

Total product cost= $184,400

The period costs are all the expenses not involved in production (selling and administrative):

Variable selling expense= 15,400

Fixed selling expense= 24,800

Variable administrative expense= 5,700

Fixed administrative expense= 28,400

Total period cost= $74,300
