Question

During its first year of operations, Silverman Company paid $15,085 for direct materials and $10,200 for production workers' wages. Lease payments and utilities on the production facilities amounted to $9,200 while general, selling, and administrative expenses totaled $4,700. The company produced 6,050 units and sold 3,700 units at a price of $8.20 a unit. What was Silverman's net income for the first year in operation

Answer 1

$4,550

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the product cost per unit

Product cost per unit = Total production costs / Units produced

= ($15,085 + $10,200 + $9,200) / 6,050 units

= $5.7 per unit

Cost of goods sold = $5.7 × 3,700 units

= $21,090

Net income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses

= ($8.2 × 3,700) - $21,090 - $4,700

= $30,340 - $21,090 - $4,700

= $4,550
