Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $100

Direct labor $320

Variable manufacturing overhead $40

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $660,000

Units produced 14,000

The difference between the absorption costing method and the variable costing method is that the first one includes the fixed manufacturing overhead in the product cost.

Absorption cost method:

Unitary fixed manufacturing overhead= 660,000/14,000= $47.14

Unitary total cost= 100 + 320 + 40 + 47.14= $507.14 per unit

Variable cost method:

Unitary total cost= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead

Unitary total cost= 100 + 320 + 40= $460 per unit
