Ansara Company

Variable Costing Income Statement

For the Year Ended December 31, 20Y2 (in millions)

Sales $25,790

Variable cost of goods sold:

Beginning inventory ($3,060 × 80%) $2,448

Variable cost of goods manufactured ($21,920 × 80%) $17,536

Ending inventory ($3,570 × 80%) ($2,856)

Total variable cost of goods sold ($17,128 )

Contribution margin $ 8,662

Less (Period) Expenses :

Fixed manufacturing costs ($5,620)

Selling and administrative expenses :

Fixed selling and administrative expenses ($1,280)

Variable selling and administrative expenses ($1,040)

Income from operations $772

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable Costing :

Product Cost = Only Variable Manufacturing Cost

= This is 80% of Cost of Goods Sold from our senario.

Period Cost = Fixed Manufacturing Costs + All Non - Manufacturing Cost (Variable and Fixed)

Note : Variable selling and administrative expenses is what remains after fixed selling, administrative, and other costs are removed from the total of selling, administrative, and other costs.
