In July 2010, income under variable costing was $188,000. July's beginning and ending inventories were 20,000 and 10,400 units, respectively.

a. Calculate income under absorption costing assuming no variances.

    Answer:

    A. $188000 + 10400 * 8 - 20000 * 8 = $111200

    Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing cost is expensed as incurred. Under absorption costing, fixed manufacturing cost should form part of product cost. Therefore, adjustment should be made on beginning and unsold units for fixed manufacturing cost.

    B. $188000 + 12000 * 8 - 9000 * 8 = $212000
