Answer: $1,017,000

Explanation:

In calculating product costs we take the following, Direct materials and direct labor, Other variable manufacturing costs, Depreciation of factory building and manufacturing equipment and Other fixed manufacturing costs.

We add all of those with the result being the Product cost.

Calculating therefore would give us,

= 770,000 + 135,000 + 87,000 + 25,000

= $1,017,000

$1,017,000 is the amount that should be considered product costs for external reporting purposes.
