Selling price per unit                                 $120       $80

Direct materials                                         $ 30       $ 12

Direct labor                                                   20          15

Variable manufacturing overhead                7            5

Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead  16           18

Variable selling expenses                           12            8

Common fixed expenses                            15           10
