- Variable-Costing and Absorption-Costing Income Borques Company produces and sells wooden pallets that are used for moving and stacking materials. The operating costs for the past year were as follows: During the year, Borques produced 200,000 wooden pallets and sold 204,300 at 9 each. Borques had 8,200 pallets in beginning finished goods inventory; costs have not changed from last year to this year. An actual costing system is used for product costing. Required: 1. What is the per-unit inventory cost that is acceptable for reporting on Borquess balance sheet at the end of the year ? How many units are in ending inventory? What is the total cost of ending inventory? 2. Calculate absorption-costing operating income. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION What would the per-unit inventory cost be under variable costing? Does this differ from the unit cost computed in Requirement 1? Why? 4. Calculate variable-costing operating income. 5. Suppose that Borques Company had sold 196,700 pallets during the year. What would absorption-costing operating income have been? Variable-costing operating income?arrow_forwardIdentify cost graphs The following cost graphs illustrate various types of cost behavior: For each of the following costs, identify the cost graph that best illustrates its cost behavior as the number of units produced increases. a. Direct material cost per unit. b. Fees for using a patent of $500,000 plus $0.25 for each unit produced. c. Salary of quality control supervisor. d. Straight-line depreciation per unit on factory equipment. e. Total direct materials cost.arrow_forwardAppendix Absorption costing income statement On June 30, the end of the first month of operations, Tudor Manufacturing Co. prepared the following income statement, based on the variable existing concept: Sales (420,000 units) 7,450,000 Variable cost of goods sold: Variable cost of goods manufactured (500,000 units x 14 per unit) 7,000,000 Less ending inventory (80,000 units x 14 per unit) 1,120,000 Variable cost of goods sold 5,880,000 Manufacturing margin 1,570,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses 80,000 Contribution margin 1,490,000 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing costs 160,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 75,000 235,000 Income from operations 1,255,000 a. Prepare an absorption costing income statement. b. Reconcile the variable costing income from operations of 1,255,000 with the absorption costing income from operations determined in (a).arrow_forward
- Variable costingsales exceed production The beginning inventory is 52,800 units. All of the units that were manufactured during the period and 52,800 units of the beginning inventory were sold. The beginning inventory fixed manufacturing costs are 14.70 per unit, and variable manufacturing costs are 30 per unit. Determine (A) whether variable costing operating income is less than or greater than absorption costing operating income, and (B) the difference in variable costing and absorption costing operating income.arrow_forwardABC Corporation produces a single product. The following cost structure applied to its first year of operations: Variable costs: SG&A P2 per unit Production P4 per unit Fixed costs (total cost incurred for the year): SG&A P14,000 Production P20,000 Assume for this question only that ABC Corporation produced 5,000 units and sold 4,500 units in the current year.

For the foreseeable future, regular sales volume should continue to equal normal capacity. Direct material $99,200 Direct labor 60,800 Variable manufacturing overhead 45,200 Fixed manufacturing overhead (Note 1) 38,400 Selling expense (Note 2) 35,200 Administrative expense (fixed) 15,000 $293,800 Notes:1. Beyond normal capacity, fixed overhead costs increase $1,800 for each 500 units or fraction thereof until a maximum capacity of 10,000 units is reached.2. Selling expenses consist of a 6% sales commission and shipping costs of 80 cents per unit. Glendale pays only three-fourths of the regular sales commission on sales totaling 501 to 1,000 units and only two-thirds the regular commission on sales totaling 1,000 units or more.
