    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Production = 25,600 units

    Units sold = 24,000

    Variable cost of goods sold = $5,376,000

    Fixed manufacturing costs = $1,664,000

    The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

    The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

    Variable costing method:

    Unitary product cost = 5,376,000/25,600 = $210

    Absorption costing:

    Unitary product cost = 210 + (1,664,000/25,600) = $275
