Explanation / Answer

16. What is the total cost that would be assigned to Mediocre's finished goods inventory at the end of the first year of operations under the absorption costing method?

A. $12,250

B. $20,125 This is the answer

C. $23,000

D. $26,250

E. None of the above

Product cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead

= $28,000 + $14,000 + $56,000 + $63,000 = $161,000

Unit product cost = $161,000 ÷ 4,000 = $40.25

Total cost of ending finished goods inventory = Unit product cost × Ending inventory in units = $40.25 × (4,000 3,500) = $20,125

17. Under the variable costing method, what is Mediocre's actual net operating income for its first year?

A. $42,000

B. $54,250

C. $55,125 This is the Answer

D. $63,000

E. None of the above

Unit product cost = (Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead) ÷ 4,000 units

= ($28,000 + $14,000 + $56,000) ÷ 4,000 = $24.50
