    Absorption and Variable Costing
    Home Base, Inc. reports the following production cost information:
    Beginning Inventory 10, 000 units
    Units produced 97,000 units
    Units sold 92,000 units
    Direct Labor $17 per unit
    Direct Materials $34 per unit
    Variable Overhead $2,522,000 in total
    Fixed Overhead $ 1,940,000 in total
    Operating Costs $ 2,000,000 in total

    Assume that production costs have remained the same since the previous period and all units are sold for $137.00 per unit.
    A. Compute production cost per unit under variable costing
    B. Compute production cost per unit under absorption costing
    C. Determine net income using variable costing
    D. Determine net income using absorption costing


    A. Variable Costing
    Units produced 97,000 units
    Unit Cost = DM DL VOH
    = $34 $17 $26 VOH= $2,522,000/ 97000 UNITS = $26
    = $77

    B. Absorption Costing
    Unit = DM DL VOH FOH
    = $34 $17 $26 $20
    = $97

    FOH= $1,940,000/ 97,000 UNITS = $20

    C. AND D I am kind of lost? What do I do with the beginning inventory also
    VOH= $2,522,000/ 97,000 UNITS = $26
