    Product unit cost = $43/unit

    Explanation:

    Product unit cost=?

    a. Direct material per unit = 14

    b. Direct labor per unit = 7

    c. Variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit = 3

    Fixed manufacturing overhead = 684000

    d. Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = fixed manufacturing overhead / units produced.

    = 684000 / 36000 = 19/unit

    we know that: Product unit cost per unit = a+b+c+d

    =14+7+3+19

    =$43 per unit.

    Income statement

    For the m/o may

    $

    Sales (31000*75) = 2325000

    less: Cost of goods sold (31000*43) = (1333000)

    Gross margin 992000

    Less: selling and administrative expense

    Fixed selling and administrative expense=563000 (a)

    Variable selling and administrative expense

    ($4 * units sold) = $4 * 31000 = 124000 (b)

    Total (a+b) = (687000)

    Net income 305000
