Answer:
income from operations is $295,604
Explanation:
Absorption Costing included both the Variable and Fixed Manufacturing overheads in product cost.
All Non-Manufacturing Costs are treated as period costs
Total Manufacturing Cost = 176,800 + 235,700 + 240,300 + 102,900
                     = 755,700
Product Cost = Total Manufacturing Costs / Total Units of Production
           = $755,700/ 20,900 units
           = $ 36.16
