WEEK 3: CHAPTER 5: Absorption Costing and


Variable Costing

Question: A company has a budget to produce 5,000 units of Product B in December. The budget for
December shows that, for Product B, the opening inventory will be 400 units and the
closing inventory will be 900 units. The monthly budgeted production cost data for Product
B for December is as follows:
Variable direct costs per unit $6.00
Variable production overhead costs per unit $3.50
Total fixed production overhead costs $29,500
The company absorbs overheads on the basis of the budgeted number of units produced.
The budgeted profit for Product B for December, using ABSORPTION COSTING, is:
A $2,950 lower than it would be using marginal costing
B $2,950 greater than it would be using marginal costing
C $4,700 lower than it would be using marginal costing
D $4,700 greater than it would be using marginal costing

Answer:The opening inventory was 400 units and the closing inventory was 900 units, therefore
inventory has increased.
If production is greater than sales then absorption costing will show the higher profit.
Difference in profit: = Change in inventory × Fixed production cost per unit
= (900 – 400) × $29,500/5,000 units = $2,950
Or
Absorption costing overhead rate= 29,500/500= 5.9 per unit
Absorption costing profit greater by 5.9*500=2950$

Question: K Plc had a marginal costing profit of $10,400 in the last period. Its inventories for the period were valued in
the following way:
- Opening inventory: $3,600
- Closing inventory: $4,900
If the business had uses absorption costing, the inventory values would have been as follow:
- Opening inventory: $5,800
- Closing inventory: $7,840
What would have been the reported profit using absorption costing? => 9660
Our inventory has increased:
Absorption Costing: Inventory increased by 2040
Marginal Costing: Inventory increased by $1300
Difference : 2040-1300=740
Absorption costing profit= 10400-740=9660

Question: HMF Co produce a single product. The budgeted fixed production overheads for the period are $500,000. The
budgeted output for the period is 2,500 units. Opening inventory at the start of the period consisted of 900 units and
closing inventory at the end of period consisted of 300 units. If absorption costing principle were applied, the profit for
the period compared to the marginal costing would be which of the following?
Price of each unit = $500,000/2,500= 200$

difference between absorption costing and marginal costing = $200*300- $200*900= -120,000$
=> Answer: $120,000 lower

The correct answer is: $120,000 lower

Question: S Plc sells plastic furniture.Its popular product is kids chair. These are small chairs for children which has high
demand among playshools and day care centres. S Plc has budgeted to produce 7,500 kids chairs in November. The
budget for November shows that for the kids chairs, the opening inventory will be 600 units and the closing inventory
will be 1,100 units. The monthly budgeted production cost data for the chair for November is as follows:
Variable indirect costs per unit: $6.00
Variable production overhead cost per unit: $3.50
Total fixed production overhead cost: $ 44,250.
The company absorbs overheads on the basis of the budgeted number of units produced. From the options below, choose
the amount by which the budgeted profit for the kids chairs using absorption costing will vary as compared to the profit
computed using variable costing:
Price of each unit = 44,250/7500=5,9$
Difference between using absorption costing and compared to the using variable costing : 5,9* 1,110-5,9*600= $2,950

Question:Budgeted production is 24,000 units


- Fixed production overhead costs are $240,000
- Forecast sales are 22,000 units
- Under absorption costing the profit for the period is expected to be: $32,000
What would be the reported marginal costing profit for the period?
=>Marginal Profit = Marginal Revenue - Marginal Cost
Marginal cost is not influenced by fixed costs.
=> Cost of per unit = 240,000$/24,000= 10$
=> = 22,000*10=220,000
=> Marginal Cost= 240,000-220,000=20,000
=> Marginal Profit = $32,000-20,000=12,000

Question:A single-product company prepares income statements using both absorption and variable costing.
Manufacturing overhead cost applied per unit produced in Year 2 was the same as in Year 1. The Year 2 variable-costing
statement reported a profit, whereas the Year 2 absorption-costing statement reported a loss.A possible explanation for the
difference in reported income is that the units produced in Year 2 were:

a. Fewer than units sold in Year 2.


b. Fewer than the activity level used for allocating overhead to the product.
c. Greater than the activity level used for allocating overhead to the product.
d. Greater than units sold in Year 2.
=>The value of the inventory asset will always be higher under absorption costing than under variable costing because,
under absorption costing, the unit product cost includes the fixed manufacturing overhead per unit produced for the
period.

The beginning inventory cost is an expense and the ending inventory is a contra-expense because it reduces the Cost of
Goods Sold.
This implies that when the inventory level decreases (because the unit produced were fewer than the units sold), the Cost
of Goods Sold expense would be greater under absorption costing than under variable costing because the beginning
inventory amount is higher.
This will cause the profit under absorption costing to be lower than the profit under variable costing.
Options b and c are wrong because the activity level used to allocate overhead is the same for absorption and variable
costing, so it would not make a difference.

Question: T Ltd uses a standard labour hour rate to charge its overheads to its clients' work. During the last annual
reporting period production overheads were under- absorbed by £19,250. The anticipated standard labour hours for the
period were 20,000 hours while the standard
hours actually charged to clients were 23,100 . The actual production overheads incurred in the period were £481,250.
The budgeted production overhead for the period were:

Actual overhead incurred: 481,250


Less under‐absorbed overhead: 19,250
Overhead absorbed
–––––––
462,000
–––––––
Overhead absorbed = Actual standard hours charged × OAR
So OAR = overhead absorbed/actual standard hours charged = $462,000/23,100 = $20
OAR = Budgeted overheads/budgeted labour hours
So budgeted overheads = OAR × budgeted labour hours = $20 × 20,000 = $400,000

Question: From the options below, select the effect of a decrease in the level of stock during a period on absorption
costing profit and closing stock valuation assuming the overhead absorption rate remains unchanged
Answer:Absorption costing profits will be lower and closing stock valuation higher than undervariable costing.

Question: From the option below, select the one scenario in which the overheads will always be over-absorbed
A actual output is higher than budgeted output
B actual overheads incurred are higher than the amount absorbed
C actual overheads incurred are lower than the amount absorbed
D budgeted overheads are lower than the overheads absorbed
Explanation: Option A may lead to over‐absorption but this will depend on the extent to which actual
overhead costs differ from budget. Option B describes under ‐absorption. Option D refers to
budgeted overheads, which are used to calculate the OAR but otherwise not used in the
calculation of under‐/over‐absorption.

Question:Stead Company produces a single product. Last year, the company's net operating income computed by the
absorption costing method was $6,400, and its net operating income computed by the variable costing method was
$9,100. The company's unit product cost was $17 under variable costing and $20 under absorption costing. If the ending
inventory consisted of 2,100 units, the beginning inventory in units must have been
A) 1,200 B) 2,100 C) 3,000 D) 4,800
Answer is option "d" 4800 units
Difference in net income = $14500-$6400 =$8100.
Difference in unit cost is $20-$17= $3 per unit i.e. difference in opening and closing units =$8100/$3 = 2700 units
If closing unit is 2100 units then opening units is 2700+2100 units = 4800 units because net operating income under
absorption costing is less then so opening units is more then closing so 4800 units was opening unit

Question: From the options below, select the advantages of marginal costing
a. Marginal costing is useful for internal decision making.
b. Marginal costing ensures that overheads are shared across production
c. Marginal costing is suitable for statutory accounting purposes
d. Marginal costing is not distorted by arbitrary allocation of overheads

Question: The absorption costing profit is $82,750. Opening inventory is 4,500 units and closing inventory is 3,700 units.
Fixed overheads are absorbed at $4 per unit. What would be the reported profit using marginal costing
Difference in profit = change in inventory levels= 4500-3700=800
Marginal costing profit = 82,750 - 800*4= 79,550$

Question: A company has established a marginal costing profit of $72,300. Opening inventory was 300 units and closing
inventory is 750 units. The fixed production overhead absorption rate has been calculated as $5/unit. What was the profit
under absorption costing?

A.$67,050 B.$70,050 C.$74,550 D.$77,550


There was an increase in inventory in the period therefore the absorption costing profit is higher than the marginal costing
profit (because a larger amount of fixed overhead is carried forward in the closing inventory value).
$
Marginal costing profit 72,300
Less: fixed costs in opening inventory (300 units x $5) (1,500)
Add: fixed costs in closing inventory (750 units x $5) 3,750
Absorption costing profit 74,550

Question: A company uses standard absorption costing to value inventory. Its fixed OAR is $12 per labour hr & each unit
of production should take 4 hrs. In a recent period where there was no opening inventory of finished goods, 20,000 units
were produced using 100,000 labour hrs, 18,000 units were sold. The actual profit was $ 464,000.
What profit would have been earned under a standard marginal costing system?

A. $368,000 B. $440,000 C. $344, 000 D. $560,000

The only difference between the absorption and marginal profits is the change in the inventory multiplied by the fixed
overheads per unit.
In this question, the produced 20,000 units and sold 18,000 units. So the inventory increased by 2,000 units.
The fixed overheads per unit at 4 x $12 = $48.
So the profit will be different by 2,000 x $48 = $96,000.
If inventories increase then absorption gives the higher profit (and so marginal gives a lower profit – 96,000 lower)
=$ 464,000 -96,000= $368,000

Question: Light It Up manufactures lights and based on the advice of the management accountant had changed from
absorption costing to variable costing for internal reporting purposes.Manufacturing levels and sales have been very
consistent over recent periods, however, the production manager has noticed a change in profits in the internal reports.
Here is some data for this period for Light It Up.
- Opening inventory: 600
- Unit produced: 5,000
- Unit sold: 5,500
Light It Up had previously used an predetermined rate of $7 to assign overheads.
The profit reported in this period’s internal reports was $10,000. What would the profits have been if Light It Up had not
switched to variable costing?
=> 17,700

Question: The following are the cost details for a toy soldier made by Play Today
Direct Material ( Per unit): $3
Direct labour (Per unit): $1
Direct expenses ( Per unit): $2
Variable production overheads ( Per unit): $1
Variable selling & administration costs ( Per unit): $1
Fixed overhead absorption rate: $2
The closing inventory is 100 units. What is the value of closing inventory under variable costing?
Answer: The cost of the ending inventory shall be the ending inventory in units multiplied by the unit cost
Unit cost under variable costing = DM+DL+DE+ VPO+VSA= 3+1+2+1+1= 8$
Cost of the ending inventory = 8 *100 =800$

second half of the year

WEEK 4: CHAPTER 8: Job order costing


Question: Fisher Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost to apply manufacturing
overhead to jobs. The following information about Fisher Corporation's Work in Process inventory account has been
provided for the month of May:
May 1 balance $26,000
Debits During May:
Direct Materials $40,000
Direct Labor $50,000
Manufacturing Overhead $37,500

lOMoARcPSD|18839251

During the month, Fisher Corporation's Work in Process inventory account was credited for $120,500, which represented
the Cost of Goods Manufactured for the month. Only one job remained in process on May 31; this job had been charged
with $9,600 of applied overhead cost. The amount of direct materials cost in the unfinished job would be:
MOH applied based on DL cost.
Applied = rate x DL.
=>Rate = Applied/DL = 37.500/50,000= 75%
Applied overhead was 9,600 = 75% x DL in job.
=>DL in job = 9600/.75 = 12,800
Beg wip 26,000 + DM 40,000 + DL 50,000 + MOH 37,500 – COGM 120,500 = End WIP
=>End WIP = 33,000= end DM + end DL 12,800 + end MOH 9,600
End DM = 33,000 – 12,800 – 9,600 = 10,600

Question:Braaten Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year,
the estimated direct labor-hours were 14,100 hours. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were
13,500 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $291,100, and manufacturing overhead for the year was
underapplied by $7,600. The estimated manufacturing overhead at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined
overhead rate must have been:
A) $286,100 B) $296,100 C) $298,816 D) $283,500

actual overhead - applied overhead = under if >0 or over if <0


291,100 - applied overhead = 7,600
233,000 - 15,400 = 283,500 applpied overhead
actual hours x rate = applied overhead
13,500 x rate = 283,500
rate = 21
expected overhead/cost driver = rate
expected overhead/ 14,100 = 21
21 x 14,100 = expected overhead
296,100 expected overhead

Question:In the Vasquez Corporation, any overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to Cost of
Goods Sold. Last year, the Corporation incurred $27,000 in actual manufacturing overhead cost, and applied $29,000 of
manufacturing overhead cost to jobs. The beginning and ending balances of Finished Goods were equal, and the
Corporation's Cost of Goods Manufactured for the year totaled $71,000. Given this information, Cost of Goods Sold, after
adjustment for any overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead, for the year must have been:
a. 98,000 b. 73,000 c. 71,000 d. 69,000
=> 2000 overapplied. 71,000-2000= 69000

Question:4Es Corporation uses a job-order costing system and applies overhead to jobs using a predetermined overhead
rate. During the year the company's Finished Goods inventory account was debited for $384,000 and credited for
$325,900. The ending balance in the Finished Goods inventory account was $72,100. At the end of the year,
manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $5,400.
The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the year was: $ 14000
Beginning finished goods inventory balance = $ 72,100 + $ 325,900 - $ 384,000 = $ 14,000
If the applied manufacturing overhead was $174,000, the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:$ 179,400 (
174,000+ 5,400= 179,400)

Question: On April 9 of the current year, Job XX4 was completed. The job cost sheet showed a total of $4,000 in direct
materials and $6,000 in direct labor at a rate of $20 per direct labor hour. Plantwide overhead is applied at $30 per direct
labor hour. The debit to Finished Goods Inventory to record the completion of Job XX4 is
A) $19,000. B) $9,000. C) $4,000. D) $13,000
direct materials = $4,000
direct labor = $6,000
direct labor hour = $20
over head applied = $30 per direct labor hour

to find out debit to Finished Goods Inventory

first we get here overhead that is


overhead = × overhead
overhead = 6000/20 × 30= 300*30
overhead = $9000

amount to be debited to finish good inventory = direct materials + direct labor + over head
amount to be debited to finish good inventory = $4,000 + $6,000 +$9,000=$19000
correct option is A) $19,000

Question:Arnold Company is a manufacturing firm that uses job-order costing. The company's inventory balances were
as follows at the beginning and end of the year:
Beginning Balance Ending Balance
Raw materials $21,000 $24,000
Work-in-process $40,000 $22,000
Finished goods $26,000 $41,000
The company applies overhead to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of
the year, the company estimated that it would work 38,000 machine-hours and incur $266,000 in manufacturing overhead
cost. The following transactions were recorded for the year: Raw materials were purchased, $300,000.
Raw materials were requisitioned for use in production, $297,000 $ (281,000 direct and $16,000 indirect).
The following employee costs were incurred: direct labor, $389,000; indirect labor, $62,000; and administrative salaries,
$176,000.
Selling costs, $160,000.
Factory utility costs, $19,000.
Depreciation for the year was $143,000 of which $137,000 is related to factory operations and $6,000 is related to selling,
general, and administrative activities.
Manufacturing overhead was applied to jobs. The actual level of activity for the year was 34,000 machine-hours.
Sales for the year totaled $1,283,000
On the basis of the above data, you are required to do the following:
i) Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured in good form.
ii) Was the overhead underapplied or overapplied? By how much?
iii) Prepare an income statement for the year in good form. The company closes any underapplied or overapplied
overhead to Cost of Goods Sold.
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated manufacturing overhead / Estimated machine hours
Predetermined overhead rate = $266,000 / 38,000 = $7 per machine hour

=>The total production cost per unit = variable costs + fixed overheads = $54.44+$39.52= 93.96

Question: 4Es Corporation uses direct labour- hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year, the
total estimated manufacturing overhead was 221,100. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were
14,400 hours, manufacturing overhead for the year was underapplied by $21,500, and the actual manufacturing overhead
was $216,100. The predetermined overhead rate for the year must have been closest to:
Underapplied (overapplied) manufacturing overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead −
Manufacturing overhead applied
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual manufacturing overhead − Underapplied
manufacturing overhead = $216,100 − $21,500= $194,600
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead ÷ Estimated total amount of the
allocation base = $194600 ÷ 14400 direct labor-hours = $13.51 per direct labor-hour

Question: Dagger Corporation uses direct labor-hours in its predetermined overhead rate. At the beginning of the year,
the total estimated manufacturing overhead was $248,800. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year
were 16,800 hours, manufacturing overhead for the year was underapplied by $17,000, and the actual manufacturing
overhead was $243,800. The predetermined overhead rate for the year must have been closest to:
a.$13.50 b.$14.16 c.$12.63 d.$14.44
Underapplied (overapplied) manufacturing overhead = Actual manufacturing overhead −
Manufacturing overhead applied
Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual manufacturing overhead − Underapplied
manufacturing overhead = $243,800 − $17,000= $226,800
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated total manufacturing overhead ÷ Estimated total amount of the
allocation base = $226,800 ÷ 16,800 direct labor-hours = $13.50 per direct labor-hour

A cost application base links an indirect cost to a cost object

Question: Walter Company uses a job-order costing system to account for product costs. The following Information
pertains to 2007:
Materials placed into production: £140,000
indirect labor: 40,000
direct labor (10,000 hours): 160,000
Depreciation of factory building: 60,000
Other factory overhead: 100,000
Increase in work-in-progress inventory: 30,000

Factory overhead rate is £18 per direct labor hour.

a.What is the total amount credited to Materials (Stores ledger account) for Walter in 2007?
=> 140,000
b. What is the total amount debited to Finished Goods Inventory in the current year?
The amount debited will be equal to the COGM which is the cost of goods manufactured.
COGM = begining WIP + cost added - ending WIP
we need to know the cost added during the period:
cost added during the period
materials 140,000
direct labor 160,000
overhead applied 18 x 10,000 = 180,000
total 480,000

Notice, for the overhead we multiply the predetermined rate by the amount of labor hours.
The actual values and adjustment for application of overhead are calculate later at year-end
Now, we are given the following information:
we know that WIP increase by 30,000
so : ending is 30,000 dollars greater than beginning
which implies ending - beginning = -30,000
we plug that into the formula:
COGM = cost added + (beginning WIP - ending WIP)
COGM = 480,000 - 30,000 = 450,000
c.Which entry is recorded to account for direct labour cost?
=>Dr Work in Process Cr Wages Payable

Question: Er Inc. has provided the following data for the month of March. The balance in the Finished Goods inventory
account at the beginning of the month was $43,000 and at the end of the month was $42,000. The cost of goods sold
manufactured for the month was $221,000. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $45,000 and the
manufacturing overhead cost applied to WIP was $49,000. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the
income statement for March is:
a. 222,000$ b. 226,000$ c.222,000$ d.221,000$ e. All are incorrect

Unadjusted cost of goods sold = Opening finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Closing finished
goods inventory=43,000 + 221,000 - 42,000=$222,000
Amount to be adjusted to cost of goods sold = Applied manufacturing overhead - Actual manufacturing overhead=
49,000 - 45,000=$4,000
Adjusted cost of goods sold = Unadjusted cost of goods sold - Amount to be adjusted to cost of goods sold=222,000 -
4,000 = $218,000
Option E is correct.

Question: Sagon Corporation has provided data concerning the Corporation's Manufacturing Overhead account for the
month of September. Prior to the closing of the overapplied or underapplied balance to Cost of Goods Sold, the total of
the debits to the Manufacturing Overhead account was $76,000 and the total of the credits to the account was $66,000.
Which of the following statements is true?
a. Manufacturing overhead transferred from Finished Goods to Cost of Goods Sold during the month was $76,000.
b. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred during the month was $66,000.
c. Manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process for the month was $76,000.
d. Manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by $10,000.
=>The total of the debits to the manufacturing overhead account was $76,000 and the total of the credits to the account
was $66,000.
This implies that the manufacturing overhead for the month was underapplied by ($76000 - $66000)= $10000. The
manufacturing overhead debit balance shows that manufacturing overhead was simply underapplied in this case.

month are listed below:

Beginning work in process inventory:


Units in beginning work in process inventory 600
Materials costs $ 7,000
Conversion costs $ 2,300
Percent complete with respect to materials 55 %
Percent complete with respect to conversion 25 %
Units started into production during the month 6,500
Units transferred to the next department during the month 5,700
Materials costs added during the month $ 110,100
Conversion costs added during the month $ 83,200
Ending work in process inventory:
Units in ending work in process inventory 1,400
Percent complete with respect to materials 70 %
Percent complete with respect to conversion 55 %
a. The total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next
processing department during the month is closest to:
b. The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department
according to the company’s cost system is closest to: (Round your intermediate
calculations to 3 decimal places.)
First step is to calculate Equivalent units of production
Units transferred to the next department 5700 ; 5700
Ending work in process:
Materials: 1400 units × 70%= 980

Downloaded by KHUY?N NGUY?N TH? NG?C ([email protected])


lOMoARcPSD|18839251

Conversion: 1400 units × 55% =770


Equivalent units of production 6680 ; 6470 ( 5700 + 980) ; ( 5700 + 770) ( b)

Second step is to calculate Cost per equivalent unit


Materials Conversion
Cost of beginning work in process inventory $7000 ; $2300
Costs added during the period $110,100 $83,200
Total cost (a) $117,100 $85,500 ( 110,100+7000; 83,200+2300)
Equivalent units of production (b) 6680 ; 6470
Cost per equivalent unit (a) ÷ (b) $17.52 ($117100/6680) $13.21 ( 85,500/6470)

Last step is to calculate Cost of units completed and transferred out


Material Conversion Total
Units completed and transferred out:
Units transferred to the next department (a) 5700 ; 5700
Cost per equivalent unit (b) $17.52; $13.21
Cost of units completed and transferred out (a) × (b) $99,864; $75,297
Total=$99,864 + $75,297 = $175, 161
a. Therefore The total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next
processing department during the month is closest to $ $175, 161
b. Ending work in process inventory:
Equivalent units of production (a)980;770
Cost per equivalent unit (b) $ $17.52; $13.21
Cost of ending work in process inventory (a) × (b) 17196.6/$10171.7
Total cost of ending inventory : 17196.6+ $10171.7 = 27368.3

Question:A company manufactures Chemical X, in a single process. At the start of the


month there was no work-in progress. During the month 300 litres of raw material were
input into the process at a total cost of $6,000. Conversion costs during the month
amounted to $4,500. At the end of the month 250 litres of Chemical X were transferred
to finished goods inventory. The remaining work-in-progress was 100% complete with
respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to conversion costs. There were no
losses in the process and there is no scrap value available during months when losses
occur.
If there had been a normal process loss of 10% of input during the month what would
the value of this loss have been?
Answer is Zero.The Normal loss doesn't have any Process cost. In the question, there
is no mention of a scrap value available for any kind of losses , that's why here the
value of loss is Nil.
What are the equivalent units for closing work-in-progress at the end of the month?
Answer:50 litres material and and 25 litres conversion costs (equivalent liters).
They have are only 50% finished in respect of conversion costs, so only 50% of the work
has been done on these 50 litres. Doing 50% work on 50 litres will cost the same in
total as doing the full work on 50% x 50 = 25 litres.

generally.
A. Debited with the scrap value of the abnormal loss units
B. Debited with the full production cost of the abnormal loss units
C. Credited with the scrap value of the abnormal loss units
D. Credited with the full production cost of the abnormal loss units
Answer: Option D. In process costing, if an abnormal loss arises, the process account is
generally credited with the full production cost of the abnormal loss units. Abnormal
loss (a cost) is credited to the process account and abnormal gain (a benefit) is debited
to the process account.

Question: Sumptuous beer company manufactures beer in two departments,


Fermenting and Bottling. In the fermenting department, ingredients are placed in a
large vat and fermented for three days. The beer is then transferred over to bottling
where it is further purified and bottled. sumptuous uses a FIFO process cost system to
collect costs in both departments. On May 1, the fermenting department had 32,000
gallons (units) in process. These gallons were 100% complete with respect to materials
(ingredients) and 80% complete with respect to conversion cost. During may,
fermenting started an additional 460,000 gallons into production. On May 31,
fermenting had 18,000 gallons in work in process. These gallons were 100% complete
with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion cost.
What are the fermenting department's equivalent units (gallons) of production related
to materials for may?
=>Answer: 459200

Working - Conversion cost - equivalent units


Opening = 32000× 20% = 6400
Process = ( 460000 - 18000) × 100 % = 442000

Question: T Inc. has invested $60,000 in new machinery for a new product.They area publicly traded company and they
have a cost of capital of 12%.The product they plan to make is a handheld mini welder and would be an innovative
product in the market.Market research has shown that there is a demand for such a product,since there is a gap as a result
of unfulfilled consumer needs.As such,the market research team believes they will be able to price these mini welders at
an RRP of $80 per unit.Production is due to begin next week,and the production manager feels that as it is a completely
new product,production may be slow to begin with.The Company thinks that the variable cost per unit will be around $50.
Given the information above,TInc. must produce and sell……2000….units in order to breakeven.
The break even point is calculated by the fixed cost by the contribution per unit ( the selling price - the variable cost)
Break even point = FC/ ( selling price - VC)
FC= 60,000; P = 80$; VC = $50
Break even point = 60,000/( 80-50)= 2,000 units

DECREASE

Question: HG plc manufactures four products. The unit cost, selling price and bottle neck resource detail as per unit as
follow Assuming that labour is a unit variable cost,if budgeted unit sales are in the ratio W:2,X:3,Y:3, Z:4 and monthly
fixed costs are budgeted to be £15,000, the number of units of W. What would be sold at the budgeted breakeven point is
nearest to:
A.106 units B.142 units C. 212 units D.283 units

Cách giải:
Contribution per mix = (2 × $7) + (3 × $1) + (3 × $15) + (4 × $11) = $106
∴ Breakeven point in number of mixes = $15,000/$106 = 141.5
∴ Number of W sold at breakeven point = 2 × 141.5 = 283 units

If you chose 142 you took the breakeven number of mixes but did not multiply by 2 to get the number of units of W as
there are 2 units of W in each mix.
If you chose 106 units then this is the contribution per mix. You did not go on then to calculate the BE point or number of
units of W.
If you chose 212 you simply multiplied the contribution per mix by 2 and missed out the intermediate stage of calculating
the breakeven point.

Question: Last year, variable expenses were 60% of total sales and fixed expenses were 10% of total sales. If the
company increases its selling prices by 10%, but if fixed expenses, variable costs per unit, and unit sales remain
unchanged, the effect of the increase in selling price on the company's total contribution margin would be:
=> An increase of 25%

CM (Contribution margin) ratio = 100% - 60%

CM (Contribution margin) ratio = 40%

Assume that original sales price of $10

So, Current Selling Price: $10

Variable Cost: $6* = *$10*60% = $6

Question: Pendant Company’s break-even point in sales is $690,000 and its variable
expenses are 60% of sales. If the company had a profit of $10,000 in 2016, its sales
must have been ___.
a. $762,000 b. $665,000 c. $700,000 d. $715,000 e. None of the above.
The correct choice is option D: $715,000

Sales = $715,000

Explanation:

The required computation of sales at $10,000 profit is as below:

Sales = (Profit + Fixed costs)/(Sales - Variable costs) = ($10,000 + $276,000)/(100% -


60%) = $286,00040% = $715,000

Working note:

The required computation of fixed cost is as below:

Break even sales = Fixed costs/(Sales - Variable costs) = Fixed costs/(100%-60%) =


Fixed costs = $609,000 × 40% = $276,000

Note:

● Profit is added to fixed costs and divided by the contribution margin to compute
desired sales.
● The contribution margin is computed by deducting variable costs percentage
from the sales percentage.
● Sales percentage is considered 100%.

Question:A company’s summary budgeted operating statement is as follows:


$000
Revenue : $ 400
Variable costs: $240
Fixed costs:$ 100
Profit: $60
Assuming that the sales mix does not change, the percentage increase in sales volume that would be needed to
increase the profit to $100,000 is
A.10% B.15% C. 25% D.40%
We need to calculate the C/S ratio in order work out the increase in sales needed to have a profit of £100,000.
Contribution ($’000) = 400 –240 = 160
C/S ratio= 160 / 400 = 0.4
Fixed costs will not change with sales and so the extra contribution will achieve the desired profit.
Extra contribution needed is £40,000 and therefore using the C/S ratio we can calculate the increase in sales
needed.
Therefore:$40,000 / 0.4 = $100,000 extra sales needed.
Percentage increase in sales = $100,000 / $400,000 x 100% = 25%

a)£675,000 b)£775,000 c)£825,000 d)£456,000

Margin of safety 25%


So breakeven sales 6000 –(25% 6000) = 4500 units
Breakeven x Contribution = Fixed Cost
(4500 x £250 x 60%) = Fixed Cost
Fixed Cost = £675,000

Question: For the coming year, D plc’s variable costs are budgeted to be 60% of sales dollars and fixed costs are
budgeted to be 10% of sales dollars. If sales price increases by 10%, but if total fixed costs, unit variable costs, and sales
volume remains the same, the effect on D plc's marginal contribution would be:
Assume that
Sale dollar =10 => vc=6, fc=1 => cm=4
Price increase 10%=> new price= 11=> mà vc unchange => cm =5
Cm from 4 to 5 => 1,25 => increase 25%

Question: A company sells two products:M and N. The sales mix is expected to be$3.00 of sales of Product M for
every$5.00 of sales of Product N. Product contribution M margin ratio of40% whereas Product Nasa contribution margin
ratio of 50%.Annual fixed expenses are expected to be$259,000.The overall break-even point for the company in dollar
sales is expected to be closest to:
a.$222,000 b.$592,000 c.$370,000 d.$560,000
Weighted average contribution margin = wM * cmM + wN * cmN
Where,
wM and wN represents the weight of both products in the sales mix
cmM and cmN represents the contribution margin ratio of both the products
Total sales per sales mix = 3 + 5 = 8
Weighted average contribution margin = 3/8 * 0.4 + 5/8 * 0.5 = 0.4625
Break even in dollars = 259000 / 0.4625 = $560000

Question: Sarri Plc produces and sells three products,X,Y and Z. It has contracts to supplyproductsXandY,which will
utilize all of the specific materials that are available to make these two products during the next period.The revenue these
contracts will generate and the contribution to sales(C/M)ratios of products X and Y are as follows:
Revenue C/M ratio
Product X £10 million 15%
Product Y £20 million 10%
Product Z has a C/M ratio of 25%.The total fixed costs of Sarri Plc are £5.5 million during the next period and
management has budgeted to earn a profit of £1 million.Calculate the revenue that needs to be generated by Product Z for
Saree Plc to achieve the budgeted profit: £3 million.

You are not given volume, but you do not need it.
First solve for the hurdle / target: $5,500,000 + 1,000,000 = 6,500,000
Next, determine the portion already covered by product x and product y.
Product X Contribution Margin = 10,000,000 x 15% = 1,500,000
Product Y Contribution Margin = 20,000,000 x 10% = 2,000,000

Fixed Costs and Profit Left to Cover = 6,500,000 – 1,500,000 – 2,000,000 = 3,000,000
Product Z Contribution Margin = 25% of Revenues

Fixed costs $640,000 $380,000

Which of the conlusion related to the A and B company is correct?

a. Company A is more profitable and then more attractive to investors than Company B
b. Company A’s profits are less sensitive to percentage changes in sales, otherwise Company B is opposite trend
c Company A is higher risky in bussiness than Company B
d. Company A’s margin of safety and break-even points are all higher than Company B

Explanation:
VC > => more profit because VC change when quantity of products increase => nếu sản xuất nhiều thì investor sẽ thấy
cty mình tiềm năng vì có nhiều đơn đặt hàng, còn Fixed cost thì dù quantity có tăng hay giảm thì vẫn phải trả 1 lượng tiền
như vậy nên nếu muốn xem xét 1 cty nên đầu tư hay ko thì nên focus vào VC của cty đó có cao hay ko (này là tui nhớ bữa

Cách giải:
The minimum sales value must be satisfied first
Sales Contribution
Product X 100 x 0.3 30
Product Y 200 x 0.25 50
Product Z 300 x 0.4 120 200

To breakeven the fixed cost of £450,000 needs to be met. £200,000 contribution has already been met using the minimum
sales values, therefore an additional £250,000 contribution still needs to be raised. The most profitable sales in order to
minimise sales would be to produce the products with the highest C/S ratios. In order Z, X, Y.

Question: Fowler Company produces a product that sells for $200 per unit and has a variable cost of $125 per unit.
Fowler incurs annual fixed costs of $450,000.

Required:

a. Determine the sales volume in units and dollars required to break even. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

=> N = ($450,000 + $0) ÷ ($200 − $125) = 6,000 units


Sales in $ = $200 × 6,000 units = $1,200,000

b. Calculate the break-even point assuming fixed costs increase to $600,000. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

=> N = ($600,000 + $0) ÷ ($200 − $125) = 8,000 units


Sales in $ = $200 × 8,000 units = $1,600,000

Question: Unistar Computers makes and sells a unique computer that is designed for a specific market. Cost information
relating to that product is shown below:

Sales price $1,500 per unit

Variable costs $ 1,000 per unit

Fixed costs $120,000 total

Unistar expects to make and sell 300 computers. Based on this information, the margin of safety expressed in units is :60
units

Break-even point = Total Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit

Break-even point = $120,000 ÷ ($1,500 - $1,000) = 240 units

Margin of safety = Budgeted sales - Break-even sales=300 units - 240 units = 60 units
