Solutions

Expert Solution

1)

Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost

Sales = 1,241,550

Variable cost

Direct material = 241,575

Direct labour = 157,829

Variable manufacturing overhead = 251,238

Total production cost = 650,642

Per unit cost = Total cost / Units produced

=650,642 / 32,210

= 20.20

Variable selling and administrative expense = 138,840

Per unit cost = Total expense / Units sold

= 138,840 / 26,700

= 5.20

Total cost per unit = 20.20 + 5.20 = $25.40

Sales per unit = 1,241,550 / 26,700 = 46.50

Contribution margin = 46.50 - 25.40

= $ 21.10

Therefore the correct option is 3rd.

2)

Under absorption costing all the variable expense is taken into consideration for calculating the ending inventory. Also on fixed manufacturing overhead expense is to be taken into consideration in the ending inventory.

Direct material = 248,250

Direct labour = 145,640

Variable manufacturing overhead = 274,730

Fixed manufacturing overhead = 595,800

Total = $1,264,420

Total units manufactured = 33,100

Cost per unit = 1,264,420 / 33,100

= $ 38.20

Ending inventory units = 33,100 - 27,800

= 5,300 units

Ending inventory

= 5,300*38.20

= $ 202,460

Therefore the correct option is 2nd.
