Answer:

6.4%

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Unit product cost:

= Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead

= $10 + $25 + $15 + $20

= $70

Operating income using absorption costing:

= (500 units × $100) - (500 units × $70) - (500 units × $5) - $7,500

= $50,000 - $35,000 - $2,500 - $7,500

= $5,000
