PART 3 Slides 17 20: Question 2 June 2003 Boat Refit Inc. produces and sells custom parts for powerboats. The company uses a costing system based on actual costs. Selected accounting and production information for fiscal 2002 is as follows: Net income (under absorption costing) $ 400,000 Sales $ 3,400,000 Fixed factory overhead $ 600,000 Fixed selling and administrative costs (all these costs are fixed) $ 400,000 Net income (under variable costing) $ 310,000 Units produced 2,000 Units sold? Boat Refit had no work in process inventory at either the beginning or the end of fiscal 2002. The company also did not have any finished goods inventory at the beginning of the fiscal year. Required a. Calculate the units sold in fiscal 2002. b. Calculate the total contribution margin under variable costing. c. Calculate the gross margin under absorption costing. d. Calculate the cost per unit sold under variable costing. e. Calculate the cost per unit sold under absorption costing. -4- MA1_mod6_handout1.doc

PART 3 Slides 17 20: Question 2 June 2003 Solution a. Number of units sold: Net income under absorption costing $ 400,000 Net income under variable costing 310,000 Absorption costing exceeds variable costing $ 90,000 Since absorption costing net income exceeds variable costing net income, this means that sales must have been less than production. Fixed factory overhead/units produced = Cost per unit $600,000/2,000 = $300 Therefore, the number of units transferred to inventory = $90,000/$300 = 300 units. Sales for May = 2,000 300 = 1,700 units b. Contribution margin under variable costing: Sales $3,400,000 Variable costs? Contribution margin? Fixed overhead (600,000) Fixed selling and admin. Expenses (400,000) Net income 310,000 3,400,000 600,000-400,000 310,000 = variable costs of $2,090,000 3,400,000 2,090,000 = 1,310,000 contribution margin c. Gross margin under absorption costing: Sales 3,400,000 Cost of goods sold? Gross margin? Fixed selling and administrative expenses (400,000) Net income 400,000 3,400,000 400,000 400,000 = cost of goods sold of $2,600,000 3,400,000 2,600,000 = $800,000 Gross margin d. Cost per unit sold under variable costing: Contribution margin $ 1,310,000 Add back variable manufacturing costs 2,090,000 Sales $ 3,400,000 Cost per unit ($2,090,000/1,700) $ 1,229.41 e. Cost per unit sold under absorption costing: Fixed costs of production/production level = Fixed cost per unit $600,000/2,000 units = $300 Cost per unit = $1,229.41 + $300 = $1,529.41 OR Cost of goods sold calculated in part c of $2,600,000 / 1700 units = $1,529,41-5- MA1_mod6_handout1.doc

PART 11 Slides 91-94 Multiple Choice Questions (continued) Q4. Which of the following statements regarding the use of variable costing versus absorption costing is true? 1) Absorption costing treats all costs of production as product costs, regardless of whether the costs are variable or fixed. 2) Absorption costing treats only variable costs of production as product costs. 3) Absorption costing treats only fixed costs of production as product costs. 4) Absorption costing harmonizes fully with the contribution approach and cost-volume-profit concepts. March 2007 exam answer: 1) Q5. How does the accounting treatment of selling and administration costs differ between absorption and variable costing if more units are produced than are sold? 1) The variable portion is added to the cost of ending inventory based on a pro rata portion of units produced to those sold. 2) The fixed portion is added to the costs of ending inventory based on a pro rata portion of units produced to those sold. 3) There is no difference in the treatment. 4) Both fixed and variable portions are added to the cost of ending inventory based on a pro rata portion of units produced to those sold.
