Answer 1

The correct answer is $79.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

We can calculate the estimated variable cost by using following formula:

Estimated variable cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Variable selling expenses

= $79

Hence, the estimated variable costs per unit is $79.
