Explanation:

First Calculate the Product Cost

Hint : Include Both Variable and Manufacturing Cost - Because Quamma Corporation uses absorption costing approach. Non manufacturing costs are not included in  product cost.

Calculation of Total Product Cost

Direct materials ($ 18.50 × 35,000)                                     $647,500

Direct labor ($ 16.10 × 35,000)                                             $563,500

Variable manufacturing overhead ($ 3.40 × 35,000)          $119,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead                                           $826,000  

Total Product Cost                                                             $2,156,000

Markup on absorption cost

Markup on absorption cost ($2,156,000 × 19%) = $409,640

Calculation of Selling Price

Total Product Cost                                      $2,156,000

Add Markup on absorption cost                   $409,640

Selling Price                                                $2,565,640

the answer is     d. in our global economy, most job growth will be in services, but manufacturing jobs will exist, too.
