    Unit cost of the product are

    Direct Cost $16.20
    Fixed production 0verheads $ 7.60
    fixed non-production overhead 2.90

    I assume that you have watched my lectures, in which case you will know that the difference in the profits is equal to the change in inventory multiplied by the fixed production overheads per unit.

    You know the change in inventory (it falls by 3,000 units) and you know the fixed production overheads per unit (7.60).
