1. Determine operating income for 20X7, assuming the firm uses the variable-costing approach to product costing. (Do not prepare a statement).
Under variable costing, the fixed manufacturing cost is expensed fully.
The cost per unit is only the variable cost.
The cost per unit = 120,000/15,000 = $8
The operating income = Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
Sales = 12,000X17 = $204,000
Variable costs = Variable cost of goods sold (12,000X8=96,000) + Non-manufacturing variable ...
