1) Cost per unit $50.00

2) Cost of budgeted closing inventory $33,561

Explanation:

Cost per unit of product

Under absorption costing, inventory and units produced are valued at he full cost per unit. The full cost per unit is calculated as follows:

Direct material + Direct Labour + Variable OH. + Fixed Production OH

Cost per unit for Andrew Company:

= 14 + (1.9 * 16) + (1.9*1.2) + (1.9 * 1.60)

= $49.72

= $50 to the nearest dollar

Cost of budgeted ending inventory

= inventory units * unit cost

= 675 * $49.72

= $33,561

1) Cost per unit $50.00

2) Cost of budgeted closing inventory $33,561
