Answer to Question
1.
Total Expenses as per Variable Costing = $7,500 + $4,500
Total Expenses as per Variable Costing = $12,000
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead per Unit as per Absorption
Costing=4,500/3,000 = $1.50
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead as per Absorption Costing = $1.50 *
2,400 = $3,600
Total Expenses as per Absorption Costing = $7,500 + $3,600
Total Expenses as per Absorption Costing = $11,100
Income under Absorption Costing will be $900 more than the Variable Costing.
Therefore, the ending Inventory under Variable Costing will be $900 lower than the ending Inventory under Absorption Costing.
Answer to Question
2.
Total Period Cost = Fixed Selling and Administrative Expense +
(Units Sold * Variable selling and Administrative Cost per
Unit)
Variable selling and Administrative Cost per Unit = Sales
Commission + Variable Administrative Cost per Unit
Variable selling and Administrative Cost per Unit = $1.30 +
$0.35
Variable selling and Administrative Cost per Unit = $1.65
Total Period Cost = $4,200 + (5,000 * $1.65)
Total Period Cost = $4,200 + $8,250
Total Period Cost = $12,450
