Explanation:

Variable Costing Calculations

Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs

                              = $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2

                              = $ 70

Cost of Goods Manufactured = 6,600 x $ 70 = $462,000

Opening Inventory = 290 x $ 70 = $20,300

Ending Inventory =  300 x $70 = $21,000

Absorption Costing Calculations

Unit Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs

                              = $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2 + ($ 151,800 ÷ 6,600)

                              = $ 42 + $ 26 + $ 2 + $23

                              = $93

Cost of Goods Manufactured = 6,600 x $93 = $613,800

Opening Inventory = 290 x $93 = $26,970

Ending Inventory =  300 x $93 = $27,900
