Explanation / Answer
As per policy first four questions will be answered
1. Cost per unit (variable costing) = 20+10+2+4 = 36
2. Cost per unit (absorption costing) = 20+10+2+4+(308000/41000)=43.51
3.net contribution margin (variable costing)=(36000*70)-(36000*36) = 1224000
4. Net operating income (variable costing) =1224000-984000-308000 =-68000
