Sales - Variable Cost of Goods Sold* = Manufacturing Margin; Manufacturing Margin - Variable Selling and Administrative Expenses = Contribution Margin; Contribution Margin - (Fixed Manufacturing Costs + Fixed Selling and Administrative Expenses) = Income from Operations.
*Variable Cost of Goods Sold = Variable Cost of Goods Manufactured - [(Manufactured Units - Sold Units) x (Variable Manufacturing Costs/Manufactured Units)]

3. Explain the reason for the difference in the amount of income from operations reported in (1) and (2).
The income from operations reported under absorption costing exceeds the income from operations reported under variable costing by the difference between the two, due to fixed manufacturing costs that are deferred to a future month under absorption costing.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Income statement based on the absorption costing concept.*

Sales                                                                                       $10,800,000.00

Less Cost of Goods Sold

Beginning Inventory                                         $0

Add Cost of Goods Manufactured           $9,600,000.00

Less Ending Inventory                                ($960,000.00) ($8,640,000.00)

Gross Profit                                                                             $2,160,000.00

Less Expenses :

Selling and administrative expenses:

Variable                                                      $1,080,000.00

Fixed                                                              $180,000.00  ($1,260,000.00)

Net Income/(loss)                                                                     $900,000.00

2. Income statement based on the variable costing concept.*

Sales                                                                                       $10,800,000.00

Less Cost of Goods Sold

Beginning Inventory                                         $0

Add Cost of Goods Manufactured           9,280,000.00

Less Ending Inventory                              ($928,000.00)   ($8,352,000.00)

Contribution                                                                             $2,448,000.00

Less Expenses :

Fixed manufacturing cost                            $320,000.00

Selling and administrative expenses:

Variable                                                      $1,080,000.00

Fixed                                                              $180,000.00  ($1,580,000.00)

Net Income/(loss)                                                                     $868,000.00

3. Reason

Fixed Costs that are deferred in Ending Inventory units under adsorption costing has resulted in absorption costing having a larger profit.

Explanation:

Production units             80,000

Less units Sold              (72,000)

Ending Inventory units     8,000

absorption costing calculations

Manufacturing Cost - absorption costing

                                                             $

Direct materials                         6,400,000.00

Direct labor                                 1,600,000.00

Variable manufacturing cost     1,280,000.00

Fixed manufacturing cost            320,000.00

Total Manufacturing Cost         9,600,000.00

Ending Inventory = 9,600,000.00 × 8,000/ 80,000

                             = $960,000

variable costing calculations

Total Manufacturing Cost         9,280,000.00

Ending Inventory = 9,280,000.00 × 8,000/ 80,000

                             = $928,000
