Tami Tyler opened Tamis Creations, Inc., a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tylers personal finances. The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who has just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Tamis Creations, Inc. Income Statement For the Quarter Ended March 31

Sales (22,000 units) $ 798,600

Variable expenses:

Variable cost of goods sold $ 270,600

Variable selling and administrative 174,900 445,500

Contribution margin 353,100

Fixed expenses:

Fixed manufacturing overhead 202,500

Fixed selling and administrative 217,000 419,500

Net operating loss $ ( 66,400)

Ms. Tyler is discouraged over the loss shown for the quarter, particularly because she had planned to use the statement as support for a bank loan. Another friend, a CPA, insists that the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing and argues that if absorption costing had been used the company would probably have reported at least some profit for the quarter.

At this point, Ms. Tyler is manufacturing only one product, a swimsuit. Production and cost data relating to the swimsuit for the first quarter follow:

Units produced 25,000

Units sold 22,000

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $ 7.60

Direct labor $ 2.70

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 2.00

Variable selling and administrative $ 7.95
