If you have watched my free lectures, you will know that the only difference between the marginal and absorption profits is the change in inventory multiplied by the fixed overheads per unit.
Here, the difference in the profits is $27,000 and the inventory changes by 3,000 units. Therefore the fixed overheads are being absorbed at the rate of 27,000/3,000 = $9 per unit.
I do explain this (and the reason for it) in my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well :-)
