    The correct option is C,$84.19

    Explanation:

    In calculating selling price based on absorption costing approach, it is appropriate to factor in the following under-listed costs and returns:

    The unit cost of the product of $61.50

    The selling and administrative expenses totaling $814000

    The 11% return on invested amount of $440000

    Selling price computation:

    Total of product cost ($61.50*38000) = $2,337,000

    Selling and administrative expenses = $814,000

    Return on investment ($440000*11%) = $48,400

    Total revenue $3,199,400

    Selling price per unit = $3199400 / 38000

    =$84.19
