What is operating income when using absorption costing?

Answer 1

Answer:

Net operating income= 43,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $80

Production= 3,000 units

Sales= 2,750 units

Variable manufacturing costs $38 per unit

Variable marketing costs $ 2 per unit

Fixed manufacturing costs $60,000 per month

Administrative expenses, all fixed $12,000 per month

Ending inventories:

Finished goods 750 units

Under the absorption costing method, the cost of goods sold includes the fixed manufacturing overhead. We need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead:

Fixed unitary overhead= 60,000/3,000= $20 per unit

Income statement:

Sales= 2,750*80= 220,000

COGS= 2,750*(38 + 20)= (159,500)

Gross profit=  60,500

Variable marketing= 2,750*2= (5,500)

Administrative expenses= (12,000)

Net operating income= 43,000
