Answer:
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
Calculation of total manufacturing overhead:-
4000 units manufacturing overhead:
= Production volume × Manufacturing overhead
= 4,000 × $94
= $376,000
5000 units manufacturing overhead:
= Production volume × Manufacturing overhead
= 5,000 × $77.60
= $388,000
Variable cost per unit:


= 12
Fixed cost = Total cost - variable cost
= $388,000 - 5,000 × 12
= $388,000 - $60,000
= $328,000
So total monthly fixed manufacturing cost is $328,000.
Answer and Explanation:
The preparation of production budget is shown below:-
Weightless Inc
Production Budget
For the month ending October 31
Units Bath Scale Units Gym Scale
Expected Units to
be sold 150,000 90,000
Desired Inventory,
October 31 12,500 8,000
Total 162,500 98,000
Less: Estimated Inventory,
October 1 -18,000 -10,000
Total Units to be
produced 144,500 88,000
The correct answer is $380 per unit.
The lower-of-cost-or market rule requires that you report the lower value of either the purchase price or current market price of items in inventory. In this case the current market price is lower, so it should be used when calculating the value of inventory.
