Sales                                                                     $10,800,000

Cost of goods sold

Beginning inventory                   -

Cost of goods manufactured    $9,600,000

Ending Inventory                         $960,000

Cost of goods sold                                                $8,640,000

Gross margin                                                          $2,160,000

Selling and administrative expenses

$1,080,000 + $180,000                                         $1,260,000

Income from operation                                           $900,000

2.             Variable Costing Income Statement

               For the month ended May 31, 2016

Variable cost of goods sold

Beginning Inventory                     -

Variable cost of goods manufactured $9,280,000

Variable cost of goods sold                                        $8,352,000

Manufacturing margin                                                  $2,448,000

Variable selling and administrative                             $1,080,000

expenses

Contribution margin                                                     $1,368,000

Fixed Cost:

Fixed manufacturing cost                        $320,000

Fixed selling and administrative              $180,000

expenses

Total fixed cost                                                                $500,000

Income from operation                                                  $868,000

3. The reason for difference of amount for income from operation is $32,000 ($900,000 - $868,000). It is due to fixed manufacturing cost which is included for ending inventory under absorption costing (320,000 / 80,000 * 8,000). Hence, income under absorption costing is higher by $32,000 as compared to income under variable costing.
