Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $210.

Units sold 19,000

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $50

Direct labor $80

Variable manufacturing overhead $20

Variable selling and administrative $10

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $700,000

Fixed selling and administrative 285,000

Total fixed costs $ 985,000

Under the variable costing method, the unitary product cost is calculated using the direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead.

Unitary variable cost= 50 + 80 + 20= $150

Income statement:

Sales= 210*19,000= 3,990,000

Varaiable cost=  150*19,000= (2,850,000)

Contribution margin= 1,140,000

Variable administrative cost= 10*19,000= (190,000)

Fixed manufacturing overhead= (700,000)

Fixed selling and administrative= (285,000)

Net operating income= (35,000)
