Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.b. Compute the unit product cost under variable costing.

Answer 1

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

Unit cost under absorption costing:

Unitary product cost= 137 + 75 + 4 + (846,800/14,600)

Unitary product cost= $274

Unit cost under variable costing:

Unitary variable product cost= 137 + 75 + 4

Unitary variable product cost= $216
