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 (28,100 units) $ 1,124,000 Variable expenses: Variable cost of goods sold $ 438,360 Variable selling and administrative 191,080 629,440 Contribution margin 494,560 Fixed expenses: Fixed manufacturing overhead 279,900 Fixed selling and administrative 228,160 508,060 Net operating loss $ ( 13,500) 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.
