Aces Inc., a manufacturer of tennis rackets, began operations this year. The company produced 6,000 rackets and sold 4,900. Each racket was sold at a price of $90. Fixed overhead costs are $78,000 and fixed selling and administrative costs are $65,200. The company also reports the following per unit costs for the Variable production costs $ 25.00 Variable selling and administrative expenses $ 2.00 Required: Prepare an income statement under absorption costing.

Refer To The attached screen shot. It contains the Income Statement Prepared under Absorption Costing.

Explanation:

Absorption Costing assumes that the Manufacturing Costs include Direct Material, Direct Labor, Variable Overhead, and Fixed Overhead. Whereas, Selling and Administrative Expenses are classified as period Costs. These period costs are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. On the other hand, the manufacturing costs are recognized when the goods on which the costs were incurred are sold. That's why we don't recognize $78,000 as a Fixed Overhead because these overhead costs were incurred to produce 6,000 rackets. We have to calculate the fixed overhead cost per unit and multiply it with the units sold.

I hope I made it clear. If you have any queries, feel free to contact me.

Thanks.
