most recent month of operations:

Selling price 228

Units in beginning inventory 0

Units produced 5,600

Units sold 5,300

Units in ending inventory 300

Fixed costs:

What is the total period cost for the month under absorption costing and variable costing?

What is the unit product cost for the month under absorption costing and variable costing?

What is the NOI for the month under absorption costing and variable costing?

Explanation / Answer

the total period cost for the month :

under absorption costing = Fixed selling and administrative $37,100

under variable costing = Fixed manufacturing overhead $201,600

+ Fixed selling and administrative $37,100 =$238700

the unit product cost for the month :

under absorption costing = Direct materials $36 + Direct labor $21 + Variable manufacturing overhead 4 + Fixed manufacturing overhead $36 i.e.(201,600/5600) = $97 per unit

under variable costing= Direct materials $36 + Direct labor $21 + Variable manufacturing overhead 4 =$61 per unit

the NOI for the month :

under absorption costing = Unit sold 5300*228 = $1208400 - Product cost 5300*97 = $514100 - Variable selling and administrative cost $4*5300 = $21200 - Fixed selling and administrative $37,100 = $636000

under variable costing = Unit sold 5300*228 = $1208400 - Product cost 5300*61 = $323300 - Variable selling and administrative cost $4*5300 = $21200 - Fixed manufacturing overhead $201,600 - Fixed selling and administrative $37,100 = $625200
