Final answer:

To find the net income for Custom Choppers, Inc., you calculate the Cost of Goods Sold and subtract it along with Selling and Admin Expenses from Total Sales. After a detailed calculation, the net income for September 2014 is determined to be $36,000. Option d. is correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate net income for Custom Choppers, Inc. for the month of September 2014, we need to first determine the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and then subtract it along with Selling and Admin Expenses from Sales. Here's how you can calculate it:

  • Begin with the direct materials. Add the beginning inventory to the purchases and subtract the ending inventory to find the cost of direct materials used: $24,000 (beginning) + $176,000 (purchases) - $28,000 (ending) = $172,000.
  • Now, calculate the total manufacturing costs by adding the cost of direct materials used, direct labor, and factory overhead: $172,000 + $200,000 + $270,000 = $642,000.
  • Add the beginning work in process to the total manufacturing costs and then subtract the ending work in process to get the cost of goods manufactured: $50,000 (beginning WIP) + $642,000 (total manufacturing costs) - $56,000 (ending WIP) = $636,000.
  • Next, find the cost of goods available for sale by adding the beginning finished goods to the cost of goods manufactured and then subtract the ending finished goods: $46,000 (beginning FG) + $636,000 (COGM) - $38,000 (ending FG) = $644,000 (COGS).
  • Finally, to find the net income, subtract COGS and Selling and Admin Expenses from Sales: $820,000 (Sales) - $644,000 (COGS) - $140,000 (Selling and Admin) = $36,000 (Net Income).

Therefore, the net income for the month of September is $36,000, which corresponds to option d.
