Answer 1

Option (A) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Units sold = 6,000 units

Sales = $565,000

Selling and administrative expenses = $67,000

Operating income:

= Sales - Cost of Goods Sold - Selling and administrative expenses

= $565,000 - ($305,000 + $14,000 + $43,000 - $42,000) - $67,000

= $565,000 - $320,000 - $67,000

= $178,000

Therefore, the operating income for the year is $178,000.
