Manufacturing variances are closed to cost of goods sold. Fixed manufacturing costs expensed on the income statement (excluding adjustments for variances) total:

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold will contain 9,600 of the fixed manufacturing cost

Explanation:

actual fixed cost 12,000

Under absorption cost, the produced units will take the complete manufacturing cost

total manufacturing cost / produced units

            12,000                 /    1,500 units        = 8

Then, we multiply by the amount of units sold to know how much of the manufacturing cost were recognize during the period

1,200 x 8 = 9,600

The rest, will be capitalized into inventory.
