Sales                               3,575,000

Variable Manufacturing   1,567,500

Fixed Manufacturing          247,500

COGS:                               1,815,000

gross profit                       1,760,000

Variable S&A expense      302,500

Fixed S&A expense            191,250  

Net Income                      1,266,250‬

Explanation:

Absorption cost will consider unit cost only the manufacturing department cost the rest are period cost.

We solve for the fixed overhead per unit using produced units:

Fixed overhead $382,500 / 85,000 = 4.5

Then we add it to the variable cost of 28.5 and get a unit cost of $33

Wer multiply by the 55,000 units to get COGS

the rest will be period cost.

Explanation:

Variable Cost of Manufacturing = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Overheads

                                                    = $28.50

Absorption Cost of Manufacturing = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Variable Overheads + Fixed Overheads

                                                    = $ 28.50 + $ 6,75

                                                    = $ 35,25
