To calculate ComPrint's operating income or loss for the year, we need to determine the cost of goods sold (COGS) and then subtract it from the sales revenue, followed by subtracting the selling and administrative costs.1. Calculate COGS:- Materials used = Beginning Materials + Purchases - Ending Materials = $10,000 + $27,000 - $8,000 = $29,000- Total Manufacturing Costs = Materials used + Direct Labour + Overhead = $29,000 + $30,000 + $42,000 = $101,000- COGS = Beginning Finished Goods + Total Manufacturing Costs - Ending Finished Goods = $21,000 + $101,000 - $16,500 = $105,5002. Calculate Sales Revenue:- Sales Revenue = Units Sold * Sales Price per Unit = 25,000 * $5 = $125,0003. Calculate Operating Income:- Operating Income = Sales Revenue - COGS - Selling and Administrative Costs = $125,000 - $105,500 - $22,000 = $(2,500)However, since none of the provided options exactly matches the calculated operating loss of $(2,500), and considering possible rounding or calculation preferences, the closest provided option to the calculated loss is A) $(3,500). This suggests there might have been a minor error in the calculation steps or assumptions made, but based on the provided options, A is the closest.
