Answer: $24,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Operating income under absorption costing:
= Sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling and admin expenses
Cost of goods sold = Variable production cost + Fixed production cost
= (61 * 1,000 units sold) + (32,000 / 1,500 units produced * 1,000 units sold)
= $82,333
Selling and admin expenses:
= Variable + Fixed
= (6 * 1,000) + 8,000
= $14,000
Operating income = (120 * 1,000) - 82,333 - 14,000
= $23,667
= $24,000
