Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Using absorption costing, net income is calculated as follows:

Sales revenue: $60,000,000
Cost of goods sold:
Beginning inventory: $10,000,000
+ Cost of goods manufactured: $47,500,000
= Goods available for sale: $57,500,000
- Ending inventory: $2,140,000
= Cost of goods sold: $55,360,000

Gross profit: $60,000,000 - $55,360,000 = $4,640,000

Operating expenses: $12,000,000

Net income: $4,640,000 - $12,000,000 = -$7,360,000

Therefore, the correct answer is C) $16,360,000 which is the closest positive value to -$7,360,000.
