Fixed manufacturing overhead ($384,000 ÷ 24,000 units) | 16 | |
Absorption costing unit product cost | $ | 35 |
Forty percent of fixed manufacturing overhead consists of wages and salaries; the remainder consists of depreciation charges on production equipment and buildings.
Production and cost data for the first two years of operations are:
Year 1 | Year 2 | |
Units produced | 24,000 | 24,000 |
Units sold | 19,000 | 29,000 |
Required:
1. Using variable costing, what is the unit product cost for both years?
2. What is the variable costing net operating income in Year 1 and in Year 2?
3. Reconcile the absorption costing and the variable costing net operating income figures for each year.
