Answer:

B) Lebeaux's variable costing income statement would show a contribution margin of $330,000.

Explanation:

See below the Statements that are produced under Absorption and Variable Costing methods.

Absorption Costing

Sales revenue $750,000

Less Cost of goods sold :

Variable portion $370,000

Fixed portion $110,000 ($480,000)

Gross Profit $270,000

Variable Costing

Sales revenue $750,000

Less Variable Costs :

Variable portion - Cost of Sales $370,000

Variable selling and administrative costs $50,000 ($420,000)

Contribution $330,000

therefore,

The only correct statement is : Lebeaux's variable costing income statement would show a contribution margin of $330,000
