Answer 1

Answer:

a. $43

b. $258,000

c. $602,000

Explanation:

Variable overhead per unit = Variable overhead / Units produced this year

Variable overhead per unit = $80,000 / 20,000

Variable overhead per unit = $4

Fixed overhead per unit = Fixed overhead / Units produced this year

Fixed overhead per unit = $160,000/ 20,000

Fixed overhead per unit = $8

a. Cost per unit of finished goods using Absorption costing

Direct material per unit                   $15

Direct labor per unit                        $16

Variable overhead per unit             $4

Fixed overhead per unit                  $8

Cost per unit of finished goods    $43

b. Number of units in finished goods = 6,000

Total cost of finished goods inventor = $43 * 6,000 units  = $258,000

c. Number of units in sold goods 14,000

Total cost of finished goods inventory =  $43 * 14,000 units = $602,000
