Lamont Wilkinson · Answer 1

Variable Unit Cost $36

Variable Cost of good sold $144,000

Explanation:

Direct Materials 96,000

Variable Labor and Overhead 48,000

Total Variable cost 144,000

Units 4,000

144,000 / 4,000 = $36

The fixed cost will not be considered part of the variable cost of goods sold, so we ignore it from the calculation.
