Question

Accurate Metal Company sold 36,500 units of its product at a price of $340 per unit. Total variable cost per unit is $179, consisting of $172 in variable production cost and $7 in variable selling and administrative cost. Compute the manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing.

Answer 1

Answer: $6,132,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The manufacturing margin for the company under variable costing will use the variable production costs only as these are the variable costs incurred during manufacturing:

Variable manufacturing margin = ( Sales price - Variable cost per unit) * number of units

= (340 - 172) * 36,500

= 168 * 36,500

= $6,132,000
