Answer:

Fixed manufacturing costs expensed on the income statement (excluding adjustments for variances) total $ 12071.43

Explanation:

Freetown Corporation

Fixed manufacturing costs $26,000

Budgeted denominator level is 2,800 units

Units sold total 1,300

In  absorption costing the fixed costs are treated as product costs.

So the Fixed overhead rate will be applied to the units sold

Fixed Overhead Rate= Fixed Costs/ Budgeted Units =

                                      $ 26,000/ 2800= $ 9.285= $ 9.29

Fixed Costs for 1300 units = Fixed OH rate * 1300

=$ 9.29 * 1300= 12071.428= $ 12071.43

Fixed manufacturing costs expensed on the income statement (excluding adjustments for variances) total $ 12071.43
