Sims Company, a manufacturer of tablet computers, began operations on January 1, 2019. Its cost and sales information for this year follows. Manufacturing costs Direct materials $ 35 per unit Direct labor $ 55 per unit Overhead costs Variable $ 40 per unit Fixed $ 6,600,000 (per year) Selling and administrative costs for the year Variable $ 725,000 Fixed $ 4,250,000 Production and sales for the year Units produced 110,000 units Units sold 80,000 units Sales price per unit $ 350 per unit 1. Prepare an income statement for the year using variable costing. 2. Prepare an income statement for the year using absorption costing

Results are below.

Explanation:

Absorption vs Variable costing method

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).

1) First, we need to calculate the total unitary variable cost:

Unitary production variable cost= 35 + 55 + 40= $130

Selling and administrative costs for the year Variable $ 725,000

Unitary total variable cost= 130 + (725,000 / 80,000)= $139.06

Now, the variable income statement:

Sales= 80,000*350= 28,000,000

Total variable cost= (80,000*139.06)=(11,124,800)

Total contribution margin= 16,875,200

Fixed overhead= (6,600,000)

Fixed Selling and administrative costs = (4,250,000)

Net operating income= 6,025,200

2) First, we need to calculate the unitary production cost:

Unitary production cost= 130 + (6,600,000/110,000)= $190

Now, the absorption costing income statement:

Sales= 28,000,000

COGS= 80,000*190= (15,200,000)

Gross profit= 12,800,000

Total Selling and administrative costs= (725,000 + 4,250,000)= (4,975,000)

Net operating income= 7,825,000
