Managerial Accounting-Unit Product Cost Under Absorption Costing

See the attached file.
Tami Tyler opened Tami's Creations, Inc., a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tyler's personal finances. The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who has just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Tami's Creations, Inc.

For the Quarter Ended March 31
Sales (22,000 units) $798,600
Variable expenses:

Variable selling and administrative

171,600

426,800
Contribution margin 371,800
Fixed expenses:
Fixed manufacturing overhead 210,000
Fixed selling and administrative

217,000

427,000
Net operating loss

$( 55,200)

Ms. Tyler is discouraged over the loss shown for the quarter, particularly because she had planned to use the statement as support for a bank loan. Another friend, a CPA, insists that the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing and argues that if absorption costing had been used the company would probably have reported a profit for the quarter.

At this point, Ms. Tyler is manufacturing only one product, a swimsuit. Production and cost data relating to the swimsuit for the first quarter follow:

Units produced 25,000
Units sold 22,000
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $7.20
Direct labor $2.90
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.50
Variable selling and administrative $7.80
