During 2021, its first year of operations, XYZ Company produced 25,000 units and sold 19,000 units. During 2022, XYZ Company produced 30,000 units and sold 32,000 units. The following information was taken from XYZ's accounting records for 2021 and 2022: 2021 2022 Direct materials cost per unit ............ $18 $17 Direct labor cost per unit ................ $16 $21 Variable overhead cost per unit ........... $7 $9 Variable selling & admin cost per unit .... $4 $6 Fixed overhead (total cost) ............... $105,000 $144,000 Fixed selling & admin (total cost) ........ $88,000 $96,000 Assume the selling price of XYZ Company's product was $64 per unit for both years. Calculate XYZ Company's 2022 net income using variable costing. Assume XYZ Company employs a FIFO inventory cost flow assumption.
Ending Inventory for 2021 = Units produced - Units sold
= 25,000 units - 19,000 units = 6,000 units
Ending Inventory for 2022 = Beginning Inventory+Units produced-Units sold
= 6,000 units+30,000 units-32,000 units = 4,000 units
Under FIFO method, the goods purchased first are sold first. In the given case 32,000 units sold include 6,000 units from beginning inventory (at the prices of 2021) and remaining 26,000 units from goods produced in 2022 (at price of 2022).
Under variable costing, only variable manufacturing costs are included in product cost and all the fixed costs are considered as period costs.
Variable manufacturing cost for 2021 = Direct materials+Direct labor+Variable overhead
= $18+$16+$7 = $41 per unit
Variable manufacturing cost for 2022 = Direct materials+Direct labor+Variable overhead
= $17+$21+$9 = $47 per unit
Variable cost of goods sold = (6,000 units*$41)+(26,000 units*$47)
= $246,000+$1,222,000 = $1,468,000
