    b.$20,550

    Explanation:

    The period costs are those costs which include costs for a particular period. The calculation for these costs differ under the two methods absorption and variable. Under absorption Costing the Period costs include Variable selling and administrative + Fixed selling and administrative expenses.

    Lagle Corporation

    Absorption Costing

    Direct materials $ 4.75 * 7000 = $ 33250

    Direct labor $ 3.70 * 7000 = $ 25900

    Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.45 * 7000 = $ 10150

    Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 18,200

    Total Product costs $ 87,500

    Sales commissions $ 1.70 * 7000=$ 11900

    Variable administrative expense $ 0.55 * 7000 = $ 3850

    Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 4,800

    Total Period Costs $ 20550

    Mostly Absorption costing is used for daily basis. Therefore Choice b is the best option.

    Under variable costing the Period costs include Fixed manufacturing overheads + Fixed selling and administrative expenses.

    Lagle Corporation

    Variable Costing

    Direct materials $ 4.75 * 7000 = $ 33250

    Sales commissions $ 1.70 * 7000=$ 11900

    Variable administrative expense $ 0.55 * 7000 = $ 3850

    Total Product costs $ 85,050
