Gerald Esparza · Answer 1

Total Units produced in the year are 4000 Units

Explanation:

We have $27 absorption cost per unit after deduction all variable cost like material $9, Direct labor $5 and Variable overhead $7 we get fixed cost per unit $6.

In order get number of units produced is calculated through using the formula (Total Fixed cost / Fixed cost Per Unit) = (24000 / 6) = 4000 Units. Hence, company produced the 4000 Units.
