    Explanation:

    The Variable Costing includes only variable manufacturing costs in product costs. Fixed and non-manufacturing costs are treated as period costs.

    Prepare a Differential Analysis for an additional 20,000 units

    Additional Costs:

    Direct materials ($6.40 * 20,000) $128,000

    Direct labor ($3.93 * 20,000) $78,600

    Variable overhead ($5.80 * 20,000) $116,000
