A manufacturer reports direct materials of $6 per unit, direct labor of $3 per unit, and variable overhead of $5 per unit. Fixed overhead is $196,000 per year, and the company estimates sales of 19,600 units at a sales price of $25 per unit for the year. The company has no beginning finished goods inventory. 1. If the company uses absorption costing, compute gross profit assuming (a) 19,600 units are produced and 19,600 units are sold and (b) 24,500 units are produced and 19,600 units are sold. 2. If the company uses variable costing, how much would contribution margin differ if the company produced 24,500 units instead of producing 19,600? Assume the company sells 19,600 units. Hint: Calculations are not required. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.
