Emerson Corporation, which uses throughput costing, just completed its first year of operations. Planned and actual production equaled 10.000 units, and sales totaled 9,600 units at $72 per unit. Cost data for the year are as follows:

Direct material (per unit)

$12

Conversion cost:

 

Direct labor

45,000

Variable manufacturing overhead

65,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead

220,000

Selling and administrative costs:

 

Variable (per unit)

8

Fixed

118,000

The company classifies only direct material as a throughput cost.

Required:

1.Compute the company’s total cost for the year assuming that variable manufacturing costs are driven by the number of units produced, and variable selling and administrative costs are driven by the number of units sold.

2.How much of this cost would be held in year-end inventory under (a) absorption costing. (b) variable costing, and (c) throughput costing?

3.How much of the company’s total cost for the year would be included as an expense on the period’s income statement under (a) absorption costing, (b) variable costing, and (c) throughput costing?

4.Prepare Emerson’s throughput-costing income statement.

5. Build a spreadsheet: Construct an Excel spreadsheet to solve requirements (1) and (2) above. Show how the solution will change if the following information changes: the direct-material cost is $11 per unit, and the total direct-labor cost is $46,000.
