Answer:

1.(b) $ 360,000

2. (c) $ 360,000

Explanation:

Miami, Inc.

Absorption Costing

Income Statement

Sales 170,000 units * $41 $ 6970,000

Variable manufacturing cost $19 *170,000 units = 3230,000

Actual fixed manufacturing costs $750,000

Contribution Margin $ 2990,000

Variable operating (non manufacturing) cost $13 *170,000 units =2210,000

Actual fixed operating (non manufacturing) costs $420,000

Operating Income $ 360,000

The difference b/w variable and absorption costing is that in variable costing the variable expenses are treated as product costs and fixed expenses as period costs. But in absorption costing the manufacturing expenses variable and fixed are treated as product costs and selling and administrative expenses both fixed and variable are treated as period costs.
