The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who has just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Tami’s Creations, Inc.

Income Statement

For the Quarter Ended March 31

Another friend, a CPA, insists that the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing and argues that if absorption costing had been used the company probably would have reported at least some profit for the quarter.

At this point, Ms. Tyler is manufacturing only one product—a swimsuit. Production and cost data relating to the swimsuit for the first quarter follow:

Solution

SOLUTION

(1A) Unit product cost under absorption costing

(1B) Absorption costing income statement-

(1C)

*Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced – Units sold

= 0 units + 27,000 units – 24,000 units = 3,000 units

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost deferred in inventory under absorption costing (3,000 units * $8.30 per unit) = $24,900

(3A)

Selling price per unit = $871,200/24,000 = $36.30

(3B)

Absorption costing income statement-

(3C)

*Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory + Units produced – Units sold

= 0 units + 27,000 units – 30,000 units = 0 units

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost deferred in inventory under absorption costing (3,000 units * $8.30 per unit) = $24,900

	Amount ($)
Direct materials	7.40
Direct labor	2.70
Variable manufacturing overhead	1.90
Fixed manufacturing overhead ($224,100 / 27,000 units)	8.30
Absorption costing unit product cost	20.30
