Question

Haas Company manufactures and sells one product. The following information pertains to each of the company’s first three years of operations:

  

  

During its first year of operations, Haas produced 40,000 units and sold 40,000 units. During its second year of operations, it produced 55,000 units and sold 30,000 units. In its third year, Haas produced 20,000 units and sold 45,000 units. The selling price of the company’s product is $46 per unit.

  
Required:

     

        

Compute the unit product cost for year 1, year 2, and year 3.

            

Prepare an income statement for year 1, year 2, and year 3.

Haas Company manufactures and sells one product. The following information pertains to each of the company’s first three years of operations:

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

1) Calculation of Break Even Point in Units Sold

Break Even Point in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Per Unit

Fixed Cost = Fixed manufacturing overhead + Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $110,000 + $50,000 = $160,000

Contribution Margin Per Unit = Selling Price Per Unit – Total Variable Cost Per Unit = $46 – ($20 + $12 + $7 + $3) = $46 - $42 = $4

Break Even Point in units = $160,000 / $4 = 40,000 Units

2)

Some interesting information about variable costing :--

Under Variable Costing, the variable costs as direct material, direct labor and variable manufacturing overheads are treated as the cost of product. The value of finished goods and work–in–progress is also comprised only of variable costs. Variable selling and distribution are excluded for valuing these inventories. Fixed costs are not considered for valuation of closing stock of finished goods and closing WIP. Fixed costs are treated as period costs and are charged to profit and loss account for the period for which they are incurred.
