Answer: $9,300
Explanation:
Variable Costing net operating Income = Contribution Margin - Fixed costs
Contribution Margin = (Selling price - Direct materials - Direct labor - Variable manufacturing overhead - Variable selling and administrative) * Units sold
= (97 - 20 - 37 - 1 - 11) * 8,500
= $238,000
Variable Costing net operating income = 238,000 - 67,200 - 161,500
= $9,300
