<u>Less: Cost of goods sold</u>
Add: Direct Material $180000
Add: Direct Labor $505000
Add: Manufacturing Overhead <u>$110000</u>
Cost of goods sold <u>($795000)</u>
Gross Profit $ 2565000
<u>Less: Expenses</u>
Selling expense $437000
Administrative expense <u>$854000</u>
Total expenses <u>($1291000)</u>
Net income <u> $1274000</u>
Percentage of sales for each line item
Sales = 100%
Cost of goods sold: 
x 100= 23.7%
Selling expense : 
x 100 = 13%
Administrative expense: 
x 100 = 25.4 %
2. According to the income statement in requirement 1, the manager can control cost by outsourcing the product if it is cheaper to get it from a third party in order to cut/control cost of goods sold.
Manager can also try controlling the administrative expenses as they are taking a bigger proportion than any other cost/ expense.
Answer:
40
Explanation:
Batches of apples produced in one hour = 35/100 = 0.35
Batches of peaches produced in one hour = 70/100 = 0.70
total hours it would take to produce 15 batches of apples = 15 / 0.35 = 42.86 = 43 hours
this would leave (100 - 43) 57 hours to make peaches
Batches of peaches that can be made in 43 hours = 57 x 0.7 = 39.9 = 40 batches
