  Fixed manufacturing overhead $240,000      Fixed selling and administrative cost 185,000      Variable manufacturing cost per unit 19      Variable selling and administrative cost per unit 5   

Explanation / Answer

1) Company's Absorption income

Sales (39000*$46) = $1794000

Cost of goods sold

Gross Profit = $813000

Variable seeling and administrative expenses (39000*$5) = ($195000)

Fixed Selling and manufacturing overheads = ($185000)

Net operating income = $433000

2) Firm's Budgeted Collection for june

Total Budgeted Collections for june =   $65000

4) Edmonco's Operating leverage

Operating Leverage = [Quantity x (Price - Variable Cost per Unit)] / Quantity x (Price - Variable Cost per Unit) - Fixed Operating cost

[$1350000-($585000+$40500+$184500)] / [$1350000-($585000+$40500+$184500) - ($270000+$54000+$108000)]

= ($1350000-$810000) /[ ($1350000-$810000)-432000]

= $540000 / $108000

= 5
