Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pretax income is calculated as Sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling & administrative expenses - Manufacturing overhead applied. Since there is no Work in Process or Finished Goods inventories, the Manufacturing overhead control balance is equal to the Manufacturing overhead applied balance. Therefore, pretax income is $4,000,000 - $2,040,000 - $950,000 - $754,000 = $484,000.
