Net operating profit= 57,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $98

Units sold= 1,800

Variable manufacturing costs $24.00 per unit

Variable marketing costs $5.00 per unit

Fixed manufacturing costs $13.00 per unit

Administrative expenses, all fixed $21.00 per unit

First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs:

Total fixed manufacturing cost= 13*2,200= 28,600

Total administrative cost= 21*1,800= 37,800

Variable costing income statement:

Sales= 98*1,800= 176,400

Total variable cost= 1,800*(24 + 5)= (52,200)

Contribution margin= 124,200

Total fixed manufacturing cost= (28,600)

Total administrative cost= (37,800)

Net operating profit= 57,800
