A. The unit product cost under variable costing in Year 1 is?
B. The net operating income (loss) under variable costing in Year 1 is?
C. The unit product cost under absorption costing in Year 2 is?
D. Assuming first-in first-out, net operating income (loss) under absorption costing in Year 2 is?
Answer to Requirement
A.
Variable Costing Unit Product Cost = Direct Materials + Direct
Labor + Variable Manufacturing Overhead
Variable Costing Unit Product Cost = $10 + $6 + $5
Variable Costing Unit Product Cost = $21
Variable Costing Unit Product Cost for Year 2 = $21
Answer to Requirement
C.
Year 1:
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead per Unit = Fixed Manufacturing
Overhead / Units produced
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead per Unit = $72,000 / 9,000
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead per Unit = $8
Absorption Costing Unit Product Cost = Direct Materials + Direct
Labor + Variable Manufacturing Overhead + Fixed Manufacturing
Overhead
Absorption Costing Unit Product Cost = $10 + $6 + $5 + $8
Absorption Costing Unit Product Cost = $29
Absorption Costing Unit Product Cost for Year 1 = $29
Year
2:
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead per Unit = Fixed Manufacturing
Overhead / Units produced
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead per Unit = $72,000 / 8,000
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead per Unit = $9
Absorption Costing Unit Product Cost = Direct Materials + Direct
Labor + Variable Manufacturing Overhead + Fixed Manufacturing
Overhead
Absorption Costing Unit Product Cost = $10 + $6 + $5 + $9
Absorption Costing Unit Product Cost = $30
Absorption Costing Unit Product Cost for Year 2 = $30
