The net operating income as per the variable costing method is $14500
<u>Explanation:</u>
The unit product cost is = $18 + $10 + $4 = $32
Sales revenue ( $78 multiply with 8700 units) = $678600
Variable cost:
Variable cost of goods sold ( 8700 units multiply $32) = $278400
Variable selling and administartive (8700 units multiply $5) = $43500
contribution margin = $356700
fixed manufacturing overhead = $255200
Fixed selling and adminstrative expenses = $87000
Net operating income = $14500
<u>Note:</u> contribution margin is calculated after deducting sales revenue with variable cost
Answer:
company gained a gross profit of $2 million
Explanation:
Data provided in the question;
Contract price to build an office = $32 million
Construction costs incurred during the first year = $9 million
Estimated costs to complete at the end of the year = $21 million
Therefore,
Total cost incurred to complete the construction of the office at the end of the first year
= Construction costs incurred during the first year + Estimated costs to complete at the end of the year
= $9 million + $21 million
= $30 million
Thus,
The revenue generated by the company = Contract price - cost incurred
= $32 million - $30 million
= $2 million
since the revenue is positive, hence the company gained a gross profit of $2 million
