Explanation / Answer

Total sales = 137 * 2700 = 369900

Total production cost = Materials produced * (Variable expenses excluding admin and selling costs) + Fixed manufacturing overhead

= 2850 * (44 +21 +12) + 91200 = 310650

Cost per unit = 310650 / 2850 = 109

Ending inventory value = 109 * 150 = 16350

Cost of goods sold = Production cost - Ending inventory = 310650 - 16350 = 294300

Gross margin = 369900 - 294300 = 75600
