Blazer Chemical produces and sells an ice-melting granular used on roadways and sidewalks in winter. It annually produces and sells 20,250 tons of its granular. Because of this year's mild winter, projected demand for its product is only 16,200 tons. Based on projected production and sales of 16,200 tons, the company estimates the following income using absorption costing. Its product cost per ton follows and consists mainly of fixed overhead because its automated production process uses expensive equipment. Selling and administrative expenses consist of variable selling and administrative expenses of $6 per ton and fixed selling and administrative expenses of $210,800 per year. The company's president will not earn a bonus unless a positive income is reported. The controller mentions that because the company has large storage capacity, it can report a positive income by setting production at the usual 20,250 ton level even though it expects to sell only 16,200 tons. The president is surprised that the company can report income by producing more without increasing sales. Required: 1. Prepare an income statement using absorption costing based on production of 20,250 tons and sales of 16,200 tons.
