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 (24,000 units)			$	871,200
Variable expenses:
Variable cost of goods sold	$	297,600
Variable selling and administrative		188,400		486,000
Contribution margin				385,200
Fixed expenses:
Fixed manufacturing overhead		216,000
Fixed selling and administrative		218,000		434,000
Net operating loss			$	( 48,800)

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		27,000
Units sold		24,000
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials	$	7.40
Direct labor	$	3.00
Variable manufacturing overhead	$	2.00
Variable selling and administrative	$	7.85
