Question

Diego Company manufactures one product that is sold for $73 per unit in two geographic regions—the East and West regions. The following information pertains to the company’s first year of operations in which it produced 56,000 units and sold 51,000 units. Variable costs per unit: Manufacturing: Direct materials $ 24 Direct labor $ 16 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2 Variable selling and administrative $ 3 Fixed costs per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 784,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 672,000 The company sold 38,000 units in the East region and 13,000 units in the West region. It determined that $300,000 of its fixed selling and administrative expense is traceable to the West region, $250,000 is traceable to the East region, and the remaining $122,000 is a common fixed expense. The company will continue to incur the total amount of its fixed manufacturing overhead costs as long as it continues to produce any amount of its only product. Foundational 6-10 10. What would have been the company’s variable costing net operating income (loss) if it had produced and sold 51,000 units? You do not need to perform any calculations to answer this question.

Answer 1

Answer:

Net operating income= (28,000)

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit= $73

Total unitary variable production cost= (24 + 16 + 2 + 3)= $45

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 784,000

Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 672,000

Under the variable costing method, the fixed manufacturing overhead is a period cost instead of a product cost.

Variable costing income statement:

Sales= 73*51,000= 3,723,000

Total variable cost= 51,000*45= (2,295,000)

Contribution margin= 1,428,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead= (784,000)

Fixed selling and administrative expense= (672,000)

Net operating income= (28,000)
