Notes -
1, Manufacturing costs - Quantity of goods manufactured = Sales + Closing stock (no info about opening stock is provided)
= 2600 + 400 = 3000 units
Cost of goods manufactured = 85,500 = 42,900 Fixed (Given in the question) + 42,600 Variable (85,500-42,900)
Thus, per unit cost (for 3000 units) = $14.3 Fixed + $14.2 Variable.
This can be cross checked. Value of closing inventory (400 units) = 400*14.3 + 400*14.2 = 11,400 (as per question).
2. Selling and admin expenses - Total = 21,500 = 14,600 Variable (given) + 6,900 Fixed (21,500-14,600)
Thus, variable per unit (For 2600 units) = 5.62
