Supporting Work

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Costs = Production Manager Salary + Factory Rent + Equipment Depreciation

Production Manager Salary = $ 50,000

Factory Rent = $ 24,000

Equipment Depreciation = $ 10,000

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Costs = 50,000 + 24,000 + 10,000

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Cost = $ 84,000

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead per Unit Produced = Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Costs / Units Produced

Units Produced = 12,000

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $ 84,000

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Cost per Unit = 84,000 / 12,000

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Cost per Unit = $ 7 per Unit

As stated in Question Fixed Costs per unit were same in last year that of Current Year

So Fixed Costs which got Deferred in Previous Year = 3,000 Units * Fixed Manufacturing Overhead per Unit

= 3,000 * $ 7 per Unit

= $ 21,000

As the Production were 12,000 Units whereas Sales were 15,000 Units which means 3,000 Units from Ending Inventory of Last Year has been used.

Variable Costs Income of Current Year = Absorption Costing Income for Current Year + Fixed Manufacturing Overhead Costs deferred in Previous Year

= 204,000 + 21,000

Variable Costing Income for Current Year= $ 225,000
