Answer: $60238
Explanation:
First and foremost, we need to calculate the over applied overhead which will be the difference between the actual overhead and the applied overhead. This will be:
= $78600 - $75000
= $3600
Then, the portion allocated to the cost of goods sold will be:
= $3600 × $57600 /($57600 + $21000)
= $3600 × $57600/$78600
= $3600 × 0.7328
= $2638
Therefore, the cost of Goods Sold after the proration will be:
= $57600 + $2638
= $60238

Declining unit manufacturing costs while prices can remain high.
Explanation:
A product life cycle can be defined as the stages or phases that a particular product passes through, from the period it was introduced into the market to the period when it is eventually removed from the market.

1. Introduction.
2. Growth.
3. Maturity.
4. Decline.
Generally, the growth stage is the stage where the product gains acceptance from the consumer and there is a significant increase in demand and sales.
Profit margins tend to peak during the growth stage of the Product Life Cycle. This is due to declining unit manufacturing costs while prices can remain high because the product has been accepted in the market and its unit cost of production is lesser i.e they are manufactured in bulk.
