. STU Company predicted that factory overhead for 2001 and 2002 would be P60,000 for each year. The
predicted and actual activity for 2001 and 2002 were 30,000 and 20,000 direct labor hours, respectivel
001 2002
P5 P5
The company assumes that the long-run production level is 20,000 direct labor hours per year. The
actual factory overhead cost for the end of 2001 and 2002 was P60,000. Assume that it takes one direct
labor hour to make one finished unit. When the annual estimated factory overhead rate is used, the
gross profits for 2001 and 2002, respectively, are (D 75 and 55k?
Peggy's Pillows produces and sells a decorative pillow for $75.00 per unit. In the first
month of operation, 2,000 units were produced and 1,750 units were sold. Actual fixed
costs are the same as the amount budgeted for the month. Other information for the
month includes:
Explanation: A) $20, only variable manufacturing costs are included when using variable
costing.

A manufacturing company employs variable costing for internal reporting and analysis purposes. However, it converts its records
to absorption costing for external reporting. The Accounting Department always reconciles the two operating income figures to
assure that no errors have occurred in the conversion. The fixed manufacturing overhead cost per unit was based on the planned
level of production of 480,000 units. Financial data for the year are presented
答案解析:
Answer (B) is correct . The difference between variable costing and absorption costing is that the former treats fixed
manufacturing overhead as a period cost. The latter method treats it as a product cost. Given that sales exceeded production, both
methods expense all fixed manufacturing overhead incurred during the year. However, 10,000 units (510,000 sales – 500,000
production) manufactured in a prior period were also sold. These units presumably were recorded at $10 under variable costing
and $16 under absorption costing. Consequently, absorption costing operating income is $60,000 (10,000 units × $6) less than
that under variable costing.
Answer (A) is incorrect because The amount of $57,600 equals 10,000 units times $5.76 per unit (total budgeted fixed
manufacturing overhead ¡Â 500,000 units).
Answer (C) is incorrect because The amount of $90,000 is the difference between planned sales (495,000 units) and actual sales
(510,000 units), times the fixed manufacturing overhead per unit ($6).
Answer (D) is incorrect because The amount of $120,000 is the volume variance under absorption costing.
Pungent Corporation manufactures and sells a spice rack. Shown below are the actual operating results for the
first two years of operations:
Year 1 Year 2
Units (spice racks) produced................................. 40,000 40,000
Units (spice racks) sold......................................... 37,000 41,000
Absorption costing net operating income............. $44,000 $52,000
Variable costing net operating income.................. $38,000 ???
Pungent's cost structure and selling price were the same for both years. What is Pungent's variable
costing net operating income for Year 2?
A) $48,000
B) $50,000
C) $54,000
D) $56,000
Ans: C Level: Hard
Solution:
Unit fixed manufacturing overhead = Difference in net income ÷ Change in inventory = ($44,000 –
$38,000) ÷ (40,000 – 37,000) = $6,000 ÷ 3,000 = $2
Variable costing net operating income = Absorption costing net income − Difference in net operating
income
= $52,000 − [(40,000 − 41,000) × $2)]
= $52,000 − ($2,000) = $54,000
