b) $113,000
c) $210,700
d) $183,000
e) $288,000

Answer 1

Answer:

b) $113,000

Explanation:

For the computation of net income under absorption costing first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

variable overhead per unit = $105,000 ÷ 35,000

= $3 per unit

The Variable cost of production per unit

Particulars                       Amount

Direct material                  $19.00

Direct labor                       $21.00

Variable overhead           $3.00

Variable cost of production

per unit                              $43.00

Cost per unit of finished goods under absorption costing

Particulars                             Amount

Total direct material cost $665,000

($19 × 35000)

Total direct labor              $735,000

($21 × 35000)

Total variable overhead $105,000

Total fixed overhead       $175,000

Total                                 $1,680,000

Units in finished goods = Number of units produced - units sold

= 35,000 - 21,000

= 14,000

Cost of finished goods under variable costing

= Variable cost of production per unit × Number of units in finished goods

= $43 × 14,000

= $602,000

Cost of goods sold

= Production cost - Finished goods  cost

= $1,680,000 - $602,000

= $1,078,000

Income statement under absorption costing

Particulars                        Amount

Sales revenue                $1,491,000

($71 × 21,000)

Less: cost of goods sold -$1,078,000

Gross Profit                      $413,000

Less : operating expenses -$300,000

Net operating income          $113,000
