Suppose PLF actually produces 300,000 bulbs. Calculate the production-volume variance using each level of capacity to compute the fixed manufacturing overhead allocation rate. . Planet LightFirst (PLF), a producer of energy-efficient light bulbs, expects unat demand will increase markedly over thenext decade. Due to the high fixed costs involved in the business, PLF has decided to evaluate its financialperformance using absorption costing income. The production-volume variance is written off to cost ofgoods sold. The variable cost of production is $2.40 per bulb. Fixed manufacturing costs are $1,170,000 peryear. Variable and fixed selling and administrative expenses are $0.20 per bulb sold and $220,000, respec-tively. Because its light bulbs are currently popular with environmentally conscious customers, PLF can sellthe bulbs for $9.80 each.PLF is deciding among various concepts of capacity for calculating the cost of each unit produced. Itschoices are as follows:Theoretical capacityPractical capacityNormal capacityMaster-budget capacity900,000 bulbs520,000 bulbs260,000 bulbs (average expected output for the next three years)225,000 bulbs expected production this year
