Solution

To calculate the company's net operating income under variable costing, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the total variable cost per unit: Direct materials (24)+Directlabour(24) + Direct labour (14) + Variable manufacturing overhead (2)+Variablesellingandadministrative(2) + Variable selling and administrative (4) = $44 per unit

  2. Calculate the total variable cost for the units sold: Total variable cost per unit (44)Numberofunitssold(35,000)=44) * Number of units sold (35,000) = 1,540,000

  3. Calculate the total contribution margin: Sales (35,000 units * 80perunit)Totalvariablecost(80 per unit) - Total variable cost (1,540,000) = 2,340,0002,340,000 - 1,540,000 = $800,000

  4. Calculate the net operating income: Total contribution margin (800,000)Fixedcosts(Fixedmanufacturingoverhead800,000) - Fixed costs (Fixed manufacturing overhead 800,000 + Fixed selling and administrative expenses 496,000)=496,000) = 800,000 - 1,296,000=1,296,000 = -496,000

So, the company's net operating income under variable costing is -$496,000. This means the company is operating at a loss.
