Under the absorption costing method, the unitary product cost is calculated using the variable cost and the fixed manufacturing costs.

Answer: $3.93

Explanation:

Given the following

Variable cost per unit = $3.40

Fixed manufacturing cost = $1700

Total Units produced=3200

Uaing absorption costing which incorporates the cost of fixed manufacturing cost of goods in the unit price of goods.

Absorption costing per unit = Variable cost per unit + fixed cost per unit

Variable cost per unit = $3.40

Fixed cost per unit = (Total manufacturing cost ÷ Total unit produced)

Fixed cost per unit = $1700 ÷ 3200 = $0.53

Absorption costing per unit = $3.40 + $0.53 = $3.93
