Answer:
Instructions are listed below
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selected data for the company’s operations last year follow:
Units in beginning inventory 0
Units produced 260
Units sold 230
Units in ending inventory 30
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 105
Direct labor $ 325
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 45
Variable selling and administrative $ 15
Fixed costs:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 65,000
Fixed selling and administrative $ 21,000
A) fixed manufacturing overhead on income statement= (65000/260)*230= $57,500
COGS= (105 + 325 + 45)*230 + 57500= $166,750
B) Variable costing income statement:
Sales= 870*230= $200,100
Variable cost= (105 + 325 + 45 + 15)*230= $112,700
Contribution margin= $87,400
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 65,000
Fixed selling and administrative $ 21,000
Net operational profit= $1,400
The difference resides in the fixed manufacturing overhead costs. In absorption costing the fixed moh is included in the cost of goods sold. Therefore, the unsold units receive fixed costs that remain in the inventory.
