A new company has set up a marginal costing system and has a budgeted contribution for the period of $26,000 based on sales of 13,000 units and production of 15,000 units. This level of production represents the firm's expected long-term level of production. The company's budgeted fixed production costs are $3,000 for the period.
What would the budgeted profit be if the company were to change to an absorption costing system?
