Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Swifty Company incurred the following costs during the year: Direct materials $24.40 per unit

Direct labor $13.10 per unit

Variable manufacturing overhead $16.00 per unit

Variable selling and administrative costs $11.00 per unit

Fixed manufacturing overhead $132,000

Fixed selling and administrative costs $12,000.

Swifty produced 6,600 units and sold 6000 units.

A) Absorption costing= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead + fixed overhead

Absorption costing= 24.4 + 13.1 + 16 + (132,000/6,600)= $73.5

B) Variable costing= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead + Variable selling and administrative costs

Variable costing= 24.4 + 13.1 + 16 + 11= $64.5
