Each case is independent of the others. (Hint: One way to find the missing amounts would be to prepare a contribution format income statement for each case, enter the known data, and then compute the missing items.) Required: a. Assume that only one product is being sold in each of the following four case situations: Unit sold Sales Variable expenses Foxed expenses Operating income (loss) Contribution margin per unit $ Case #1 15,000 180,000 $ 100,000 120,000 50,000 $ $ Case #2 Case #1 Case #3 10,000 Case #2 70,000 $ 32,000 8,000 $ 12,000 $ 10 $ 13 Case #4 b.

- Variable Costing, Absorption Costing During its first year of operations, Snobegon, Inc. (located in Lake Snobegon, Minnesota), produced 40,900 plastic snow scoops. Snow scoops are oversized shovel-type scoops that are used to push snow away. Unit sales were 38,900 scoops. Fixed overhead was applied at $0.75 per unit produced. Fixed overhead was underapplied by $2,900. This fixed overhead variance was closed to Cost of Goods Sold. There was no variable overhead variance. The results of the year's operations are as follows (on an absorption-costing basis): Sales (38,900 units @ $20) $778,000 Less: Cost of goods sold 547,260 Gross margin $230,740 Less: Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed) 184,500 Operating income $ 46,240 Required: 1.
