Answer 1

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unit produced 11,000

Variable cost per unit:

Direct materials $150

Direct labor $450

Variable manufacturing overhead $47

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $790,000

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).

Variable costing:

Unitary cost= 150 + 450 + 47= $647

Absorption costing:

Unitary fixed overhead= 790,000/11,000= $71.82

Unitary cost= 647 + 71.82= $718.82
