Step-by-step solution

Income statement using variable costing

Particulars	Amount
Net sales revenue ($29x12,000)	$348,000
Less: Variable costs ($12x12,000)	$144,000
Contribution margin	$204,000
Less: Fixed costs
Fixed costs of goods sold	$91,000
Fixed selling and administrative cost	$9,000
Operating Income	$104,000

Calculation of product cost per unit and total cost of 1,000 cases in finished goods inventory as of April 30.

Particulars	Amount
Variable manufacturing cost	$9
Total unit product cost	$9
Finished goods inventory, ending balance ($9x1,000)	$9,000
