Net Operating Income 100,000 220,000

n Year 1, the company produced and sold 40,000 units of its only product; in Year 2, the company again sold 40,000 units, but increased production to 50,000 units. The company's variable production cost is P5 per unit and its fixed manufacturing overhead cost is P600,000 a year. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are applied to the product on the basis of each year's unit production (i.e., a new fixed overhead rate is computed each year). Variable selling and administrative expenses are P2 per unit sold.
