The company's variable costs per unit and total fixed costs have been constant from month to month. What is the net operating income for the month under variable costing?

Answer 1

Answer:

Net operating income= 11,600

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price $118

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $37

Direct labor $23

Variable manufacturing overhead $3

Variable selling and administrative expense $5

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $73,500

Fixed selling and administrative expense $29,900

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

First, we need to calculate the total variable cost per unit:

Total variable cost per unit= 37 + 23 + 3 + 5= $68

Income statement:

Sales= 118*2,300= 271,400

Total variable cost= 68*2,300= (156,400)

Total contribution margin= 115,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead= (73,500)

Fixed selling and administrative expense= (29,900)

Net operating income= 11,600
