Question

Ramort Company reports the following cost data for its single product. The company regularly sells 21,500 units of its product at a price of $63.00 per unit. Direct materials $ 10.30 per unit Direct labor $ 12.30 per unit Overhead costs for the year Variable overhead $ 3.30 per unit Fixed overhead per year $ 52,900.00 Selling and administrative costs for the year Variable $ 2.30 per unit Fixed $ 65,500 Normal production level (in units) 21,500 units Compute gross margin under absorption costing. (Round unit cost amounts to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Gross margin= $744,760

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.

Unitary fixed overhead= 52,900 / 21,500= $2.46

Total unitary production cost= 10.3 + 12.3 + 3.3 + 2.46= $28.36

Now, the gross margin:

Gross margin= sales - COGS

Gross margin= 21,500*63 - 21,500*(28.36)

Gross margin= $744,760
