Corey Pittman · Answer 1

under absorption unit cost: $42

Explanation:

absorption cost will distribute the fixed cost among the entire production of the period rather than declare period cost like in variable coting system

variable cost:

materials 13

labor 20

overhead 3

Total variable 36

fixed overhead distributed among produced units: 135,000 / 22,500 = 6

Total unit cost: 36 + 6 = 42
