Solution - Calculation of Product and period cost
Product cost = Product cost are manufacturing cost incurred in producing the goods.
Product costs is directly related to production which includes material, labour, Manufacturing overhead (Variable and fixed)
Period Cost = Period Cost are non manufacturing cost incurred indirectly and are not related to production.
Period costs are selling expenses and adninistrative expenses
Note 1 - Fixed Manufacturing overhead = $5.5*17250 units = $94875
Note 2 - Fixed Selling expenses = $4*17250 = $69000
Note 3 - Fixed Administrative expenses = $3*17250 = $51750
20500 Units Product cost
$287000
($14*20500)
$94875 (Note 1)
(Fixed cost does not change with the change in the units of production. Fixed cost remains same)
$21000
($1.5*14000)
$14000
($1*14000)
$69000
(Note 2)
(Fixed cost does not change with the change in units of production. It remain constant)
$51750
(Note 3)
(Fixed cost does not change with the change in the unit of production. It remain constant)
| Particulars | 20500 Units Product cost | 14000 units Period cost | ||
| Manufacturing cost | ||||
| Direct Material Per unit | $7.5 | |||
| Direct Labour per unit | $4.5 | |||
| Variable overhead per unit | $2.0 | |||
| Total Variable cost ($7.5 + $4.5 + $2) = $14 | $287000 ($14*20500) | |||
| Fixed Manufacturing Overhead | $94875 (Note 1) (Fixed cost does not change with the change in the units of production. Fixed cost remains same) | |||
| Non Manufacturing cost | ||||
| Variable Sales commission expenses | $21000 ($1.5*14000) | |||
| Variable administrative expenses | $14000 ($1*14000) | |||
