Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selected data for the company’s operations last year follow:

Units in beginning inventory 0

Units produced 260

Units sold 230

Units in ending inventory 30

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $ 105

Direct labor $ 325

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 45

Variable selling and administrative $ 15

Fixed costs:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 65,000

Fixed selling and administrative $ 21,000

A) fixed manufacturing overhead on income statement= (65000/260)*230= $57,500

COGS= (105 + 325 + 45)*230 + 57500= $166,750

B) Variable costing income statement:

Sales= 870*230= $200,100

Variable cost= (105 + 325 + 45 + 15)*230= $112,700

Contribution margin= $87,400

Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 65,000

Fixed selling and administrative $ 21,000

Net operational profit= $1,400

The difference resides in the fixed manufacturing overhead costs. In absorption costing the fixed moh is included in the cost of goods sold. Therefore, the unsold units receive fixed costs that remain in the inventory.
