The computations are shown below:

a. For product cost:

= Direct materials used + Direct labor + manufacturing overhead

where,

Manufacturing overhead  = Indirect labor + Property taxes, factory + Depreciation of production equipment

= $45,000 + $18,900 + $42,200

= $106,100

So, the product cost would be

= $168,100 + $90,800 + $106,100

= $365,000

b. For period cost

= Marketing salaries + Administrative travel + Sales commissions + Advertising

= $51,700 + $100,800 + $50,000 + $144,300

= $346,800
