Answer 1

Answer:

Income statement for the company under variable costing

Sales (80,000 units x $45)                                                             $3,600,000

Less Cost of Sales

Beginning inventory                                                          $0

Cost of goods manufactured (100,000 units x $19) $1,900,000

Cost of good available for sale                                 $1,900,000

Less Ending inventory (20,000 x $19)                      ($380,000) ($1,520,000)

Contribution                                                                                    $2,080,000

Less Period Costs

Fixed Manufacturing  Overhead                                                     ($600,000)

Selling and administrative expenses - Fixed                                 ($400,000)

Selling and administrative expenses - Variable                             ($180,000)

Net Income / (loss)                                                                            $900,000

Explanation:

Under Variable Costing.

1.Product cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs Only

Therefore, Product cost = $4 + $11 + $ 4

                                        = $19

2.Period Cost = Fixed Manufacturing Overheads + Non - Manufacturing Costs
