Question

Based on expected production of 6,000 units, a company reports the following costs: direct materials cost of $4 per unit, direct labor cost of $8 per unit, variable overhead cost of $3 per unit, fixed overhead of $60,000 per year, variable selling and administrative expenses of $2 per unit, and fixed selling and administrative expenses of $20,000 per year. There is no beginning inventory. If 4,000 units are sold at $40 per unit, what is net income under absorption costing

Answer 1

Net operating income= $32,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.

First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead and unitary total cost:

Unitary fixed overhead= 60,000 / 6,000= $10

Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + total unitary overhead

Unit product cost= 4 + 8 + 3 + 10

Unit product cost= $25

Now, the net operating income:

Net operating income= Sales - COGS - Total variable selling and administrative expenses

Net operating income= 4,000*40 - 25*4,000 - (2*4,000 + 20,000)

Net operating income= 160,000 - 100,000 - 28,000

Net operating income= $32,000
