    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The company produces a single product.

    Production volume 8,500 units 9,500 units

    Direct materials $97.70 per unit

    Direct labor $27.60

    Manufacturing overhead $72.30 per unit $68.30 per unit.

    Variable Manufacturing cost = direct material + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead

    Variable Manufacturing overhead:

    We need to use the high low method:

    Variable cost per unit = (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost) / (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

    Variable cost per unit = (648,850 - 614,550) / (9,500 - 8,500) = 34.3

    Variable Manufacturing cost = 97.7 + 27.6 + 34.3 = $159.6
