Prepare income statements using variable costing and absorption costing with changing inventory levels (Learning Objective 6)
Hadlock Manufacturing manufactures a single product that it will sell for $68 per unit. The company is looking to project its operating income for its first two years of operations. Cost information for the single unit of its product is as follows:
- Direct material per unit produced $30
- Direct labor cost per unit produced $11
- Variable manufacturing
overhead (MOH) per unit produced $5 - Variable operating expenses per unit sold $3
- Fixed manufacturing overhead (MOH for each year is $176,000, while fixed operating expenses for each year will be $86,000.
During its first year of operations, the company plans to manufacture 22,000 units and anticipates selling 16,000 of those units. During the second year of its operations, the company plans to manufacture 22,000 units and anticipates selling 24,000 units (it has units in beginning inventory for the second year from its first year of operations).
Requirements
- 1. Prepare an absorption costing income statement for the following:
- a. The first year of operations
- b. The second year of operations
- 2. Before you prepare the variable costing income statements for Hadlock, predict the company’s operating income using variable costing for both its first year and its second year without preparing the variable costing income statements. Hint: Calculate the variable costing operating income for a given year by taking that year’s absorption costing operating income and adding or subtracting the difference in operating income as calculated using the following formula: Difference in operating income = (Change in inventory level in units × Fixed MOH per unit)
- 3. Prepare a variable costing income statement for each of the following years:
- a. The first year of operations
- b. The second year of operations

- Cost Identification Following is a list of cost terms described in the chapter as well as a list of brief descriptive settings for each item. Cost terms: a. Opportunity cost b. Period cost c. Product cost d. Direct labor cost e. Selling cost f. Conversion cost g. Prime cost h. Direct materials cost i. Manufacturing overhead cost j. Administrative cost Settings: 1. Marcus Armstrong, manager of Timmins Optical, estimated that the cost of plastic, wages of the technician producing the lenses, and overhead totaled 30 per pair of single-vision lenses. 2. Linda was having a hard time deciding whether to return to school. She was concerned about the salary she would have to give up for the next 4 years. 3. Randy Harris is the finished goods warehouse manager for a medium-sized manufacturing firm. He is paid a salary of 90,000 per year. As he studied the financial statements prepared by the local certified public accounting firm, he wondered how his salary was treated. 4. Jamie Young is in charge of the legal department at company headquarters. Her salary is 95,000 per year. She reports to the chief executive officer. 5. All factory costs that are not classified as direct materials or direct labor. 6. The new product required machining, assembly, and painting. The design engineer asked the accounting department to estimate the labor cost of each of the three operations. The engineer supplied the estimated labor hours for each operation. 7. After obtaining the estimate of direct labor cost, the design engineer estimated the cost of the materials that would be used for the new product. 8. The design engineer totaled the costs of materials and direct labor for the new product. 9. The design engineer also estimated the cost of converting the raw materials into their final form. 10. The auditor for a soft drink bottling plant pointed out that the depreciation on the delivery trucks had been incorrectly assigned to product cost (through overhead). Accordingly, the depreciation charge was reallocated on the income statement. Required: Match the cost terms with the settings. More than one cost classification may be associated with each setting; however, select the setting that seems to fit the item best. When you are done, each cost term will be used just once.arrow_forward(Learning Objective 2: Compare gross profit—FIFO vs. LIFO—falling prices)Suppose a Walmart store in Fillmore, Missouri, ended January 2018 with 900,000 units ofmerchandise that cost $5 each.

Each department store makes its own purchasing decisions. Carl Hart, assistant to the president of Perfect Fit, is interested in better understanding the drivers of purchasing department costs. For many years, Perfect Fit has allocated purchasing department costs to products on the basis of the dollar value of merchandise purchased. A $100 item is allocated 10 times as many overhead costs associated with the purchasing department as a $10 item. Hart recently attended a seminar titled “Cost Drivers in the Retail Industry.” In a presentation at the seminar, Kaliko Fabrics, a leading competitor that has implemented activity-based costing, reported number of purchase orders and number of suppliers to be the two most important cost drivers of purchasing department costs. The dollar value of merchandise purchased in each purchase order was not…arrow_forwardAssume that at the beginning of 20x2, Cicleta trained the 2 assembly workers in a new approach that had the objective of increasing the efficiency of the assembly process. Cicleta also began moving toward a JIT purchasing and manufacturing system. When JIT is fully implemented, the demand for expediting is expected to be virtually eliminated. It is expected to take two to three years for full implementation. Assume that receiving cost is a step-fixed cost with steps of 1,500 orders. The other three activities employ resources that are acquired as used and needed. At the end of 20x2, the following results were reported for the four activities: Required: 1. Prepare a trend report that shows the non-value-added costs for each activity for 20x1 and 20x2 and the change in costs for the two periods. Discuss the reports implications. 2. Explain the role of activity reduction for receiving and for expediting. What is the expected value of SQ for each activity after JIT is fully implemented? 3. What if at the end of 20x2, the selling price of a competing product is reduced by 27 per unit? Assume that the firm produces and sells 20,000 units of its product and that its product is associated only with the four activities being considered. By virtue of the waste-reduction savings, can the competitors price reduction be matched without reducing the unit profit margin of the product that prevailed at the beginning of the year? If not, how much more waste reduction is needed to achieve this outcome? In this case, what price decision would you recommend?arrow_forward
