    13-45 Variable and Absorption Costing
    13-45 Variable and Absorption Costing
    Chan Manufacturing Company data for 20X7 follow:


    Sales: 12,000 units at $17 each
    Actual production 15,000 units
    Expected volume of production 18,000 units
    Manufacturing costs incurred
    Variable $120,000
    Fixed 63,000
    Nonmanufacturing costs incurred
    Variable $24,000
    Fixed 18,000

    Determine operating income for 20X7, assuming the firm uses the variable-costing approach to
    product costing. (Do not prepare a statement.)






    Assume that there is no January 1, 20X7, inventory; no variances are allocated to inventory; and
    the firm uses a “full absorption” approach to product costing. Compute (a) the cost assigned to
    December 31, 20X7, inventory; and (b) operating income for the year ended December 31, 20X7.

    1)
    Product cost = Manufacturing cost (variable) + Nonmanufacturing costs incurred(variable)
    = 120000+24000 = 144000
    Per unit cost of production = 144000/15000 = 9.6
    Cost assigned to inventory = 3000 * 15 = 28800


    Operating income = Sales – product cost – fixed costs
    = 12000*17 – 12000*9.6 – 63000-18000
    = 7800


    2) a)

    Ending Inventory = 15,000 units – 12,000 units = 3,000 units

    Cost of Ending Inventory = 3,000 units x ($8 + $63,000 / 18,000 units)
    Cost of Ending Inventory = 3,000 units x $11.50
    Cost of Ending Inventory = $34,500

    b)
    Total Cost = $120,000 + $63,000 + $24,000 + $18,000 = $225,000

    Operating Income = (12,000x $17) – ($225,000 – $34,500)
    Operating Income = $204,000 – $190,500
    Operating Income = 13,500
