    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Sales = 5,000 units

    Selling price = $75

    Product costs include:

    Direct materials per helmet = $30

    Direct labor per helmet = $8

    Variable factory overhead per helmet = $4

    Total fixed factory overhead 20,000

    Variable selling expense is a commission of $3 per helmet

    The fixed selling and administrative expense totals $29,500

    The total variable cost is calculated as follow:

    Total variable cost = unitary variable cost*number of units

    Unitary variable cost = direct material + direct labor + variable overhead + variable selling and administrative

    Total variable cost = (30 + 8 + 4 + 3) * 5,000 = $225,000

    Total fixed costs = 20,000 + 29,500 = $49,500

    Income statement:

    Sales = 5,000*75 = 375,000

    Total variable cost = (225,000)

    Contribution margin = 150,000

    Total fixed factory overhead = (20,000)

    The fixed selling and administrative expense = (29,500)

    Net operating income = $100,500
