g A manufacturing company that produces a single product has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations: Selling price $ 131 Units in beginning inventory 0 Units produced 3,320 Units sold 2,890 Units in ending inventory 430 Variable cost per unit: Direct materials $ 45 Direct labor $ 15 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 7 Variable selling and administrative $ 19 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 92,960 Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 28,900 The total gross margin for the month under absorption costing is:

Answer 1

$104,040

Explanation:

For the computation of total gross margin for the month under absorption costing first we need to compute the total unit product cost which is shown below:-

Total unit product cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead

= $45 + $15 + $7 + ($92,960 ÷ 3,320)

= $45 + $15 + $7 + $28

= $95

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold

= (2,890 × $131) - (2,890 × $95)

= $378,590 - $274,550

= $104,040

So, for computing the gross profit we simply deduct the cost of goods sold from sales revenue.
