Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $2.85
Direct labor $1.92
Variable overhead $1.60 $6.37
Variable selling $0.90 $7.27
Fixed costs per year:
Fixed overhead $180,000
Selling and administrative $96,000 $276,000
Selling price per unit = $9
Acceptable per-unit inventory cost:
Variable product cost per unit = $6.37
Total variable production cost = $1,274,000
Fixed production cost = 180,000
Total production cost = $1,453,000
Unit inventory cost = $7.27 ($1,453,000/200,000)
b. Ending inventory
Beginning inventory 8,200
Production units = 200,000
Units available 208,200
Sales units = 204,300
Ending inventory 3,900
c. Absorption Costing Operating Income:
Sales Revenue $1,838,700 ($9 * 204,300)
Cost of goods sold 1,485,261 ($7.27 * 204,300)
Gross profit $353,439
Selling expenses:
Variable ($0.90 * 204,300) 183,870
Fixed 96,000
Total selling expenses $279,870
Operating income $73,569
