The correct answer is 77.047

Explanation:

Firstly, calculate each item

* Revenue (units * Price) = $9750 * 17.20 = 167.700

* Variable manufacturing cost = (Units * (Variable manufacturing cost 2018 - decrease expected for 2019) = ($9750 * (6.16-1) = 50.310

* Fixed Manufacturing cost = (Fixed manufacturing cost 2018 + Increase expected for 2019) = (8.230+3300) = 11.530

* Variable selling cost = 9750*2.71 = 26.423

* Fixed selling cost = 2390

Units price Total

Revenue 9,750.00 17.20 167,700.00

Variable Man 9,750.00 5.16 (50,310.00)

Fixed Man. 9,750.00 1.18 (11,530.00)

Vari Sell. 9,750.00 2.71 (26,423.05)

Fixed Sell 9,750.00 0.27 (2,390.00)
