Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold under Absorption Costing:
Direct Materials: 2,000 x $30 = $60,000
Direct Labor: 2,000 x $20 = $40,000
Variable Overhead: 2,000 x $10 = $20,000
Fixed Overhead: ($1,500,000 + ($35 x 35,000) + $100,000) / 35,000 x 37,000 = $1,807,143
Total Cost of Goods Sold: $2,927,143
Add: Beginning Finished Goods Inventory: 0
Less: Ending Finished Goods Inventory: 2,000 units x $260 = $520,000
Income under Absorption Costing: $2,927,143 + $520,000 = $4,447,143
Add: Fixed Overhead in Ending Inventory: $35 x 2,000 = $70,000
Adjusted Income: $4,447,143 + $70,000 = $4,517,143
Less: Fixed Overhead deferred in Beginning Inventory: $35 x 2,000 = $70,000
Income after adjustment: $4,517,143 - $70,000 = $4,447,143
Add: Fixed Overhead on unreleased units: ($1,500,000 + ($35 x 2,000) + $100,000) / 35,000 x 2,000 = $138,571
Total Income under Absorption Costing: $4,447,143 + $138,571 = $4,585,714
Rounding off to the nearest thousand gives the answer as $4,652,000 (Option B).
