Respuesta :

Answer:

$376,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total period cost for the month under variable costing is shown below:

= Fixed manufacturing overhead + Fixed selling and administrative expense + units sold × Variable selling and administrative expense per unit

= $238,000 + $108,000 + 6,000 units × $5

= $238,000 + $108,000 + $30,000

= $376,000

We simply considered the selling and administrative expense and fixed manufacturing overhead cost
