Variable costing $ Absorption costing

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)unit cost of goods manufactured is $108.00

(b)unit cost of goods manufactured is $122.00

Explanation:

Varibale Product Costing = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Variable Overheads

Absorption Product Costing = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Variable Overheads + Fixed Overheads

(a) the unit cost of goods manufactured- the variable costing concept

Variable cost of goods manufactured ($1,620,000/15,000 units) = $108.00

unit cost of goods manufactured                                                     =  $108.00

(b)  the unit cost of goods manufactured - the absorption costing concept

Variable cost of goods manufactured ($1,620,000/15,000 units) = $108.00

Fixed manufacturing costs ($210,000/ 15,000 units)                     =    $14.00

unit cost of goods manufactured                                                     =  $122.00
