Production costs per tennis racket total $38, which consists of $25 in variable production costs and $13 in fixed production costs (based on the 6,000 units produced). Ten percent of total selling and administrative expenses are variable. Compute net income under variable costing.

produced 6,000 rackets and sold 4,900. At year-end, the company reported the following income statement using absorption costing.



A) $194,100

B) $165,500

C) $311,000

D) $240,500

E) $233,000


B) $165,500
Explanation: $179,800 – ($13 × 1,100 units) = $165,500
Income under absorption costing = Income under variable costing + FOH in Ending inventory –FOH in Beginning inventory
$179,800 = Income under variable costing + (1,100 units × FOH $13) – (0 units × FOH $13)
$179,800 = Income under variable costing + $14,300 – $0
$165,500 = Income under variable costing
