Phearsum Corporation manufactures a parachute Shown below is Phearsum's cost structure:
Variable cost perparachute Total fixed costfor the yearManufacturing cost $160 $342,000
Selling and administrative $10 $171,000
In its first year of operations, Phearsum produced and sold 4,000 parachutes The parachutes sold for $310 each
66 If Phearsum would have sold only 3,800 parachutes in its first year, what total amount
of cost would have been assigned to the 200 parachutes in finished goods inventory under the variable costing method?
A) $28,000
B) $32,000
C) $34,000
D) $49,100
Ans: B AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking
AICPA FN: Reporting LO: 1 Level: Easy
Solution:
Unit product cost = $160
Total cost of ending finished goods inventory = $160 × 200 = $32,000
Trang 3567 Refer back to the original data How would Phearsum's absorption costing net
operating income been affected in its first year if only 3,800 parachutes were sold instead of 4,000?
A) net operating income would have been $2,350 lower
B) net operating income would have been $10,900 lower
C) net operating income would have been $12,900 lower
D) net operating income would have been $28,000 lower
Ans: B AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking
AICPA FN: Reporting LO: 1,2 Level: Hard
Solution:
Unit fixed manufacturing overhead = $342,000 ÷ 4,000 = $85.50
Unit product cost under absorption costing = $160 + $85.50 = $245.50
Unit gross margin = $310 − $245.50 = $64.50
Cost savings ($10 × 200) $ 2,000
Less: decrease in gross margin ($64.50 × 200) 12,900
Net operating income increase (decrease) ($10,900)
68 Refer back to the original data How would Phearsum's variable costing net operating income been affected in its first year if 4,500 parachutes were produced instead of 4,000 and Phearsum still sold 4,000 parachutes?
A) net operating income would not have been affected
B) net operating income would have been $38,000 higher
C) net operating income would have been $57,000 higher
D) net operating income would have been $75,000 lower
