push snow away. Unit sales were 39,000 scoops. Fixed overhead was applied at $0.70 per unit produced. Fixed overhead was underapplied by $2,600. This fixed overhead variance was closed to Cost of Goods Sold. There was no variable overhead variance. The results of the year's operations are as follows (on an absorption-costing basis): Sales (39,000 units $20) Less: Cost of goods sold Gross margin $780,000 550,260 $229,740 Less: Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed) Operating income 185,500 $44,240 Required: 1.
