Below my answer for a, b and c:

Answer for Question A

To compute the cost of producing units during a given month using Variable Costing, we must consider the various expenses directly tied to their production. The sum of these expenses will provide us with the unit product cost.

Selling price: $185

Direct materials: $54

Direct labor: $64.50

Manufacturing overhead: $4.50

Total Variable Cost per Unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead

Total Variable Cost per Unit = $54 + $64.50 + $4.50

Total Variable Cost per Unit = $123

Answer for B

Variable Costing Income Statement

Sales (14,200 x RM185) RM2,627,000
Less: Variable expenses
Beginning Inventory (600 units x RM123) RM73,800
Add: Variable cost of goods manufactured (13,800 units x RM123) 1,697,400
Variable cost of goods available for sale 1,771,200
Less: Ending Inventory (200 units x RM123) 24,600
Total Variable cost of goods sold 1,746,600
Gross Contribution Margin 880,400
Less: Variable selling and administrative expense (14,200 units x RM16.50) 234,300
Contribution Margin 646,100
Less: Fixed Expenses
Fixed Manufacturing overhead 195,000
Fixed Selling and administrative cost 75,000
Total Fixed Expenses 270,000
Net Operating Income RM376,100

Answer for Question C

Variable Costing Operating Income: RM376,100

Less: Fixed Manufacturing Overhead in Net Inventory: RM5,652

Absorption Costing Operating Income: RM376,100 - RM5,652

= RM370,448
