Explanation:

a.
Amounts per unit:
1.
Variable manufacturing cost = Manufacturing overhead + Direct labor + Direct materials
= $70 + $35 + $112
= $217

2.
Full unit cost = All unit fixed costs + All unit variable costs
Unit fixed manufacturing = ($50,400 ÷ 900 units) = $56
Unit fixed marketing and administrative cost = ($67,500 ÷ 900 units) = $75
= $56 + $75 + $35 + $112 + $70 + $14
= $362
3.
Variable cost = All variable unit costs
= $14 + $70 + $35 + $112
= $231

4.
Full absorption cost = Fixed and variable manufacturing overhead + Direct labor + Direct materials
= $56 + $70 + $35 + $112
= $273

5.
Prime cost = Direct labor + Direct materials
= $35 + $112
= $147

6.
Conversion cost = Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $35 + ($70 + $56)
= $161

7.
Profit margin = Sales price − Full cost
= $448 − $362
= $86

8.
Contribution margin = Sales price − Variable costs
= $448 − $231
= $217

9.
Gross margin = Sales price − Full absorption cost
= $448 − $273
= $175
