    =$10

    Explanation:

    Since Oriole Company has enough capacity to produce the 3000 units without jeopardizing regular sales, only variable costs will change.

    Variable cost per unit will be the total variable cost divide by units

    = variable costs / total units

    =$372,000/62,000

    =$6 per unit

    for 3000 units, variable cost

    = $3000 x 6

    =$18,000

    the total cost involved will include variable costs + Shipping costs + desired income

    =$18,000 + $6000 + $6000

    =$30,000

    for 3000 units the cost per unit should be $30,000/3000

    =$10
