Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable manufacturing cost per unit, $7

Fixed manufacturing costs, $60,000

Variable selling and administrative costs per unit, $3

Fixed selling and administrative costs, $263,000

Selling price per unit = $48

Planned production in units = 10,000

Actual production in units = 10,000

Number of units sold = 9,500

Ending inventory = 500 (10,000 - 9,500)
