Answer 1

Answer:

$104,040

Explanation:

For the computation of total gross margin for the month under absorption costing first we need to compute the total unit product cost which is shown below:-

Total unit product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead

= $45 + $15 + $7 + ($92,960 ÷ 3,320)

= $45 + $15 + $7 + $28

= $95

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold

= (2,890 × $131) - (2,890 × $95)

= $378,590 - $274,550

= $104,040

So, for computing the gross profit we simply deduct the cost of goods sold from sales revenue.
