Answer:
d) $57,500
Explanation:
For computation of gross margin under absorption costing first we need to find out the unit product cost under absorption costing which is shown below:-
Unit product cost under absorption costing = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + (Fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ Units produced)
= $32 + $45 + $2 + ($43,500 ÷ 2,900)
= $32 + $45 + $2 + $15
= $94 per unit
Gross margin = Units sold × ( Selling price - Unit product cost under absorption costing)
= 2,500 × ($117 - $94)
= $57,500
