QUESTION 11
Chamiching makes hacksaw blades. Inventory values are determined
using the first in, first out (FIFO) method. Production and sales
data for the first three years appear below.
Hacksaw blades |
Sold |
Produced |
Yr 1 |
18,000 |
22,000 |
Yr 2 |
25,000 |
23,000 |
Yr 3 |
37,000 |
35,000 |
Sales price |
Full cost |
|
Yr 1 |
$10.00 |
$6.00 |
Yr 2 |
$11.00 |
$6.60 |
Yr 3 |
$12.00 |
$7.60 |
For Chamiching, which of the following is true?
In the first year, variable costs accounted for half of the full
costs. Total fixed production costs increased each subsequent year
by 20%, as a result of step-fixed costs and a general inflationary
price increase.

we will see which of the statement is true
1.The variable cost of Yr 2 ending inventory is $6,887
variable cost = $6/2 = $3 half of full cost
yr 2 ending inventory = beginning inventory+production - sales
beginning inventory = yr 1 production - sold = 22000-18000=4000
=4000+23000-25000
=2000units
variable cost =$3*2000units =$6000
so this statement if not true
2.The full cost of Yr 2 ending inventory is double the variable cost ending inventory
full cost = fixed cost + variable cost
=($3+20% increase) + $3
=3.6+3
=6.6$
inventory =2000units*6.6 =13200$
full cost =13200$
variable cost = $6000
no The full cost of Yr 2 ending inventory is not double the variable cost ending inventory so this statement is not true.
3.There are 3,000 hacksaw blades in ending inventory
ending inventory =beginning inventory + production -sales
yr 1 =22000-18000 =4000
yr 2 =4000+23000-25000=2000
yr 3 =2000+35000-37000=0
this statement is mot true.
4.The fixed cost per unit in Yr 3 is $2.72
fixed cost total in yr 2 = fixed cost yr 1 +20%
=3*22000+ 20% =79200
fixed cost in yr 3 = total fixed cost in year 2 + 20%
=79200 +20%
=95040$
fixed cost per unit =95040/35000units
=2.72$
this statement is true
