. A company produces a single product. Last year, fixed manufacturing overhead was $30,000,
variable production costs were $48,000, fixed selling and administration costs were $20,000, and
variable selling administrative expenses were $9,600. There was no beginning inventory. During the
year, 3,000 units were produced and 2,400 units were sold at a price of $40 per unit. Under variable
costing, net operating income would be
a loss of $2,000.
. A manufacturing company that produces a single product has provided the following data
concerning its most recent month of operations:
The total gross margin for the month under absorption costing is:
A. $42,000
B. $14,700
C. $69,000
D. $79,800
$42,000
. Avitia Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct
labor budget indicates that 3,700 direct labor-hours will be required in September. The variable
overhead rate is $5.70 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead
is $48,100 per month, which includes depreciation of $5,550. All other fixed manufacturing
overhead costs represent current cash flows. The company recomputes its predetermined overhead
rate every month. The predetermined overhead rate for September should be:
$18.70
. Clayton Company produces a single product. Last year, the company's variable production costs
totaled $8,000 and its fixed manufacturing overhead costs totaled $4,800. The company produced
4,000 units during the year and sold 3,600 units. Assuming no units in the beginning inventory:
the ending
inventory under
variable costing
will be $480 lower
than the ending
inventory under
absorption costing
. In an income statement segmented by product line, a fixed expense that cannot be allocated among
product lines on a cause-and-effect basis should be
classified as a
common fixed
expense and not
allocated.
. More Company has two divisions, L and M. During July, the contribution margin in Division L was
$60,000. The contribution margin ratio in Division M was 40% and its sales were $250,000. Division
M's segment margin was $60,000. The common fixed expenses were $50,000 and the company net
operating income was $20,000. The segment margin for Division L was:
$10,000
. Roberts Company produces a single product. This year, the company's net operating income under
absorption costing was $2,000 lower than under variable costing. The company sold 8,000 units
during the year, and its variable costs were $8 per unit, of which $2 was variable selling and
administrative expense. If production cost was $10 per unit under absorption costing, then how
many units did the company produce during the year? (The company produced the same number of
units last year.)

Budgeted sales in Allen Company over the next four months are given below:
Twenty-five percent of the company's sales are for cash and 75% are on account. Collections for sales on
account follow a stable pattern as follows: 50% of a month's credit sales are collected in the month of sale,

A company using lean production methods likely would show approximately the same net
operating income under both absorption and variable costing because
production is geared to
sales under lean
