Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Under the variable costing method, the unit product cost is calculated using the direct material, direct labor, and unitary variable overhead.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable overhead and unitary selling and administrative expense:

Unitary variable overhead = 3,000,000/100,000 = $30

Unitary variable selling and administrative expense = 770,000/70,000 = $11

Total Unitary variable cost = 40 + 60 + 30 + 11 = $141

Now, the income statement:

Sales = 70,000*350 = 24,500,000

Total variable cost = (70,000*141) = (9,870,000)

Contribution margin = 14,630,000

Fixed overhead = (7,000,000)

Fixed selling and administrative = (4,250,000)

Net operating income = 3,380,000
