$520,000 in total

Explanation / Answer

Variable selling and administartive expense per unit = 80,000/40,000

= $2 per unit

Variable overhead per unit = 240,000/60,000

= $4 per unit

Total Variable cost per unit = 90 + 75 + 4 + 2

= $171 per unit

..

Total Fixed COst = 420,000 + 520,000

= $940,000

..

Fixed Overhead per unit = 420,000/60000

= $7 per unit

..

..

..

..

..

Net income using absorption costing = (600-171)*40,000 - 40,000*7 - 520,000

= $163600,000 ...Option-C is the correct answer

..

..

Net income using variable costing = (600-171)*40,000 - 420,000 -520,000

= $16220,000 ..Option-A is the Correct answer
