Explanation / Answer

Variable costing

Year 1                                                                                                                                    Year 2

Unit product cost

Number of units produced=50000                            Number of units produced=40000

Variable cost per unit=$52                                           Variable cost per unit=$52

Fixed cost=0                                                                       Fixed cost=0

Selling price=$59                                                              Selling price=$59

Unit product cost=Variable cost +Fixed cost/Number of units produced

Year 1                                                                                                                    Year 2

Unit product cost= (52*50000)/50000                     Unit product cost=(52*40000)/40000

Unit product cost=52                                                   Unit product cost=52
