Exercise 5-10 (20 minutes)
1. Under absorption costing, all manufacturing costs (variable and fixed)
are included in product costs.
Direct materials ………..…………………..
$ 60
Direct labor ………………………………….
30
Variable manufacturing overhead ……..
10
Fixed manufacturing overhead
($300,000 ÷ 10,000 units) ……………
30
Unit product cost …………………………..
$130
2. The absorption costing income statement appears below:
Sales (9,000 units × $200 per unit) ……..…………………..
$1,800,000
Cost of goods sold (9,000 units × $130 per unit) …….…..
1,170,000
Gross margin ……………………………………………………….
630,000
Selling and administrative expenses
(9,000 units × $20 per unit) + $450,000 ……….………..
630,000
Net operating income ……………………………………………
$ 0
Note: The company apparently has exactly zero net operating income
even though its sales are below the break-even point computed in
Exercise 5-9. This occurs because $30,000 of fixed manufacturing
overhead has been deferred in inventory and does not appear on the
income statement prepared using absorption costing.
