Tami Tyler opened Tamis Creations, Incorporated, a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tylers personal finances. The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Tamis Creations, Incorporated Income Statement For the Quarter Ended March 31
Sales (28,900 units)		$ 1,156,000
Variable expenses:
Variable cost of goods sold	$ 485,520
Variable selling and administrative	190,740	676,260
Contribution margin		479,740
Fixed expenses:
Fixed manufacturing overhead	$ 255,200
Fixed selling and administrative	236,540	491,740
Net operating loss		$ ( 12,000)

Ms. Tyler is discouraged over the loss shown for the quarter, particularly because she hoped to use the statement as support for a bank loan. Another friend, a CPA, insists the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing and claims if absorption costing had been used, the company probably would have reported a profit for the quarter.

At this point, Ms. Tyler makes only one producta swimsuit. Production and cost data for the first quarter follow:

Units produced	31,900
Units sold	28,900
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials	$ 7.60
Direct labor	$ 7.40
Variable manufacturing overhead	$ 1.80
Variable selling and administrative	$ 6.60

1. Complete the following:
   1. Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.
