Answer:

variable cost per unit 150 dollars

Explanation:

As we aren't provided with a volume. We calculate considering variable costying system which onyl count variable cost as cost of goods manufactured:

raw material                            $    75 per unit

labor 5 hours x 14 per hour = $    70 per unit

variable ovehread                   $     5 per unit

Variable cost per unit              $  150 per unit

the fixed overhead cost

5,110 + 3,730 + 1,550 + 6,600 + 8,760 = 25,750

will be considered cost of the period under variable costing
