Question

Tami Tyler opened Tami’s 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. Tyler’s 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.

  

Tami’s Creations, Inc.
Income Statement
For the Quarter Ended March 31

  Sales (22,000 units)

$

798,600    

  Variable expenses:

     Variable cost of goods sold

$

268,400    

     Variable selling and administrative

173,800    

442,200    

  Contribution margin

  Fixed expenses:

     Fixed manufacturing overhead

207,500    

     Fixed selling and administrative

215,000    

422,500    

  Net operating loss

$

( 66,100)   

  

    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

25,000   

  Units sold

22,000

     Direct labor

2.90   

     Variable manufacturing overhead
