Expert Solution

(a)	Answer
	Cost of Goods Sold = 52801
	Gross Profit = 35199 (88000-52801)
	Period Cost = 50000 (20000+30000)


	Income Statement (Absorption Costing)
	Particulars	Amount	Amount
	Sales (1600 units * $ 55)		88000

	Production Cost:
	Direct Material consumed (1600*$12)		19200
	Direct Labour cost (1600*$5)		8000
	Variable Manufacturing Overhead (1600*$4)		6400
	Fixed manufacturing Overhead		17050
	Cost of Production		50650

	Add: opening Stock (170*$35)		5950
	Less: Closing Stock [ 120*(50650/1600)]		3799
	Cost of Goods Sold		52801
	Add: Selling and Distribution Cost	20000
	Administration Cost	30000	50000
	Total Cost		102801
	Profit (Sales-Total Cost)		-14801


	Income Statement ( Marginal Costing)
(b)	Particulars	Amount	Amount
	Sales		88000
	Variable manufacturing cost:
	Direct Material consumed (1600*$12)		19200
	Direct Labour cost (1600*$5)		8000
	Variable Manufacturing Overhead (1600*$4)		6400
	Cost of Goods produced		33600
	Add: Opening Stock {170*(35-14)}		3570
	Less: Closing Stock {120*(33600/1600)}		2520
	Cost of Goods Sold		34650
	Add: Variable administration,selling and distribution overhead		11000
	{(3000010%) + (2000040%)}
	Total Variable Cost		45650
	Contribution (Sales-Total Variable Cost)		42350
	Less: Fixed Cost (Production, administration, selling etc)		58430
	Net Profit		-16080

	Profit as per Marginal costing is lower by 1279 due to difference in valuation of closing stock (ie, in marginal costing fixed cost will be treated as period cost while production cost in absorbtion costing
