Question:

The offices and factory of Okanagan Company were destroyed by a flood on July 31, 2012, the year-end date of the company. Almost all of the accounting records were lost in the flood and the company did not have a backup copy. Luckily, there was no loss of inventory because all of the units were sold by July 31, 2012. The company was a single product manufacturing company that was planning to use variable costing for internal management decisions. The company's accountant has found the following incomplete accounting records. His task is to reconstruct the 2012 income statement under both absorption and variable costing.
Sales ................................................................................$900,000
Actual fixed manufacturing costs incurred ....................................132,000
Actual variable manufacturing cost per unit for 2012 production..................6
Net income, absorption costing .................................................120,000
..............................................................360,000
Actual selling, general, and administrative expenses (all fixed) ............42,000
Gross margin ......................................................................162,000
