In: Accounting
Krepps Corporation produces a single product. Last year, Krepps manufactured 32,210 units and sold 26,700 units. Production costs for the year were as follows:
Direct materials | $ | 241,575 | |
Direct labor | $ | 157,829 | |
Variable manufacturing overhead | $ | 251,238 | |
Fixed manufacturing overhead | $ | 418,730 | |
Sales totaled $1,241,550 for the year, variable selling and administrative expenses totaled $138,840, and fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $199,702. There was no beginning inventory. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
The contribution margin per unit was:

Question 2
Krepps Corporation produces a single product. Last year, Krepps manufactured 33,100 units and sold 27,800 units. Production costs for the year were as follows:
Direct materials | $ | 248,250 | |
Direct labor | $ | 145,640 | |
Variable manufacturing overhead | $ | 274,730 | |
Fixed manufacturing overhead | $ | 595,800 | |
Sales totaled $1,320,500 for the year, variable selling and administrative expenses totaled $164,020, and fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $205,220. There was no beginning inventory. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
Under absorption costing, the ending inventory for the year would be valued at:
Multiple Choice
$229,960
$202,460
$272,460
$263,960
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.
