    lifestress2000, our guidelines are not to just give people answer's away. The work is theirs (and yours) to do, so you need to show your attempts at having done the problem and not be giving nor asking people just for answers, but rather guidance.

    The thread is also a year and a half old. I don't think the poster cares anymore.

    (Also not a good idea to just plaster your email up on a public page like that.)

    Here I found the answer which match your question u can take idea from it,
    Delta Corporation
    Income Statement (Under Absorption Costing System)
    For the Quarter Ending ------------
    -
    (Rupees)
    Sales (20,000 * 30) 600,000
    Less: Cost of Goods Sold
    Opening Stock 0
    Add: Production Cost (15.50 * 24,000) 372,000
    Less: Closing Stock (15.50 * 4,000) (62,000) 310,000
    Gross Profit 290,000
    Less: Operating Expenses
    Selling & Administrative Expenses (Fixed) 60,000
    Net Profit 230,000

    Working:
    Production Cost (Total) = 80,000+100,000+120,000+72,000 = 372,000
    Per Unit Production Cost = 372,000/24,000 = 15.50


    Part-2
    Delta Corporation
    Income Statement (Under Direct Costing System)
    For the Quarter Ending -------------

    (Rupees)
    Sales (20,000 * 30) 600,000
    Less: Variable Cost of Goods Sold
    Opening Stock 0
    Add: Variable Production Cost (12.50 * 24,000) 300,000
    Less: Closing Stock (12.50 * 4,000) (50,000) 250,000
    Gross Profit 350,000
    Less: Fixed Expenses
    Factory Over Heads (Fixed) 72,000
    Selling & Administrative (Fixed) 60,000 132,000
    Net Profit 218,000

    Working:
    Total Variable Cost = 80,000+100,000+120,000 = 300,000
    Per Unit Cost (Variable) = 300,000/24,000 = 12.50

    MeeMeee
    hi guys..


    I have come to a solution and I'm sure of it


    net income for absorption = 3989800
    net income for variable = 3971800

    If you want to make sure of my solution you can multiply the number 0.6 "that we get from divided Fixed Overhead over total unit produce" on the difference between units produced 750,000 and sold 720,000 units

    So 0.6*(750000-720000) = 18000

    3989800 - 3971800 = 18000


    ^^
