The budgeted costs were computed based on the budgeted production and sales of 1,120
units, the company's normal capacity level, Silva Corporation uses a predetermined factory
overhead rate for applying manufacturing overhead costs to its product, The denominator
level used in developing the predetermined rate is the firm's normal capacity. Any over-
or underapplied factory overhead cost is closed to cost of goods sold at the end of the
year,
There are no work-in-process inventories at either the beginning or end of the year, The
actual selling price was the same as the amount planned, P130 per unit,
The previous year's planned per unit manufacturing costs were the same as the current
planned unit manufacturing cost, The beginning inventory of finished goods for absorption
costing purposes was valued at such per unit manufacturing cost,
Required:
1, The standard product costs per unit under absorption and variable costing
2, The manufacturing cost variances under absorption and variable costing
3, Silva Corporation's operating income under both absorption and variable costing
methods
4, The values of Silva Corporation's actual ending finished goods inventory under
absorption and variable costing methods
5, Silva Corporation's total fixed costs expensed this year on both costing methods
6, Silva Corporation's actual manufacturing contribution margin for the year calculated on
the variable costing basis
7, Silva Corporation's actual contribution margin for the year calculated on the variable
costing basis
8, The total variable costs expensed currently by Silva Corporation on both the absorption
and variable costing basis
9, The difference between Silva Corporation's operating income calculated on absorption
and variable costing basis
