Income statement under absorption cost:

Sales Revenue 7,920,000

COGS 220,000 x 26 = (5,720,000)

Gross profit: 2,200,000

S&A expense: (990,000)

variable: 330,000

fixed: 630,000

Operating Income 1,210,000

Explanation:

Variable cost of goods manufactured $6,360,000

Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing costs $530,000

Under absorption cost, the company will distribute the manufacturing cost over the units produced:

variable manufacturing cost: 6,360,000

fixed manufacturing cost: 530,000

Total cost: 6,890,00

Units produced: 265,000

units sold 220,000

+ ending inventory 45,000

Cost per units: 26

The selling and adminsitrative (S&A) will be count as period cost.
