Answer:

The unit price is $9.2 per unit

Explanation:

The computation of the unit price is shown below

Variable costs for 2,000 units is

= Variable cost ÷ units × special order units

= $312,000 ÷ 52,000 units × 2,000 units

= $12,000

Now the unit price is

= (variable cost + shipping charges + earnings) ÷ special order units

= ($12,000 + $2,400 + $4,000) ÷ (2,000 units)

= $9.2 per unit

Hence, the unit price is $9.2 per unit
