2. Operating income under Absorption costing | |||
Sales: | 10752000 | (8960 X 1200) | |
Less: Cost of goods sold | |||
Direct Material | 492800 | (8960 X 55) | |
Direct Manufacturing Labour | 403200 | (8960 X 45) | |
Manufacturing Overhead | 1075200 | (8960 X 120) | |
Marketing Cost | 672000 | (8960 X 75) | |
Total Variable Cost | 2643200 | ||
Gross Margin | 8108800 | (Sales - total variable cost) | |
Less: Fixed Cost | |||
Manufacturing cost | 1318625 | (1471680/10000) X 8960. Allocated to all units whether sold or not | |
R& D | 981120 | ||
Marketing | 3124480 | ||
Total fixed cost | 5424225 | ||
Operating income | 2684575 | (Gross margin - total fixed cost) | |
Note: Under absorption costing the fixed manufacturing overhead are allocated to all units and hence increases the closing stock value | |||
3. Difference between Operating income under 1 and 2 above | |||
In Variable costing the fixed manufacturing overhead are allocated only to the units sold and entire amount is treated as expense | |||
In absorption costing the fixed manufacturing overheads are allocated to all units produced as opposed to sold and hence it is treated more like variable expense | |||
The allocated amount of fixed manufacturing overhead is included in closing inventory value under absorption costing which is carried to next year | |||
4. Bonus system | |||
As in absorption costing the income would he on higher side due to having less expense allocation to cost of golds sold and high inventory value, so from supervisor perspective they are likely to get higher bonus under absorption costing . The new bonus plan is a good idea if the entity is confident of being able to sale off the closing inventory without any price deterioration in future. If the price of product is uncertain for future then bonus under absorption costing can be an expensive decision |
