1. Prepare a traditional income statement.
2. Prepare a contribution format income statement.

Answer 1

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 11,000 + 85,000 - 23,000= $73,000

Traditional format Income Statement:

Sales= 14,000*16= 224,000

COGS= (73,000)

Gross profit= 151,000

Total selling expense= (2*14,000 + 18,000)= (46,000)

Total administrative expense= (2*14,000 + 16,000)= (44,000)

net operating income= 61,000

Contribution format income statement:

Sales= 14,000*16= 224,000

Total variable cost= (73,000 + 2*14,000 + 2*14,000)= (129,000)

Contribution margin= 95,000

Total fixed selling expense= (18,000)

Total fixed administrative expense= (16,000)

Net operating income= 61,000
