Variable manufacturing overhead	$ 56
Variable selling and administrative	$ 23
Fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing overhead	$ 730,000
Fixed selling and administrative	$ 550,000

Required:

1. Assume that the company uses absorption costing. Compute the unit product cost for one gamelan. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

2. Assume that the company uses variable costing. Compute the unit product cost for one gamelan.
