Answer 1

a. Fixed Budget Income Statement for planned level of sales and production

Sales	$400,000
Less : Variable Cost	$320,000
Contribution Margin	$80,000
Less : Fixed Cost	$30,000
Operating Income	$50,000

Explanation :

sales = 40,000 units x $10 = $400,000

Variable cost = $320,000 (given)   

per unit variable cost = $320,000 / 40,000 = $8

Contribution margin = $400,000 - $320,000 = $80,000

Fixed Cost = $30,000 (given)

Operating Income = $80,000 - $30,000 = $50,000

b. Flexible budget income statement for the actual level of sales and production

Sales	$420,000
Less : Variable Cost	$336,000
Contribution Margin	$84,000
Less : Fixed Cost	$30,000
Operating Income	$54,000

Explanation :

sales = 42,000 units x $10 = $420,000

Variable cost = 42,000 units x $8 = $336,000

per unit variable cost = $320,000 / 40,000 = $8

Contribution margin = $400,000 - $336,000 = $84,000

Fixed Cost = $30,000 (given)

Operating Income = $84,000 - $30,000 = $54,000
