Answer 1

Answer:

C. $2,112

Explanation:

Under absorption costing, cost of a finished product will include the costs of direct materials , direct labor , variable and fixed manufacturing overhead.

Solution:

Determine first the cost of sales:

Variable product cost $3,780  + Fixed product cost $1,890  = $5,670

Total product cost $5,670 ÷ 210 units manufactured = $27/unit

$27 per unit cost × 180 units sold = $4,860 cost of sales

Then,

Net Sales $8,400 - Cost of Sales $4,860 = $3,540 Profit

Profit $3,540 - Selling/Admin variable & fixed costs $1,428 = $2,112 Net operating income
