Answer 1

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed manufacturing overhead:

Unitary fixed overhead= 85,400/2,440= $35

Absorption costing income statement:

Sales= 2,280*145= 330,600

COGS= 2,280* (49 + 17 + 17 + 35)= (269,040)

Gross profit= 61,560

Total selling and administrative= 22,800 + (2,280*10)= (45,600)

Net income= 15,960
