Estimated Income Statements, using Absorption and Variable Costing

Prior to the first month of operations ending October 31 Marshall Inc. estimated the following operating results:

Sales (24,800 x $86)	$2,132,800
Manufacturing costs (24,800 units):
Direct materials	1,282,160
Direct labor	302,560
Variable factory overhead	141,360
Fixed factory overhead	168,640
Fixed selling and administrative expenses	45,900
Variable selling and administrative expenses	55,500

The company is evaluating a proposal to manufacture 27,200 units instead of 24,800 units, thus creating an Inventory, October 31 of 2,400 units. Manufacturing the additional units will not change sales, unit variable factory overhead costs, total fixed factory overhead cost, or total selling and administrative expenses.

a. 1. Prepare an estimated income statement, comparing operating results if 24,800 and 27,200 units are manufactured in the absorption costing format. If an amount box does not require an entry leave it blank or enter 0.
