Question
  1. Estimated Income Statements, using Absorption and Variable Costing

    Prior to the first month of operations ending October 31, Marshall Inc. estimated the following operating results:

    Sales (23,200 x $81) $1,879,200  
    Manufacturing costs (23,200 units):  
    Direct materials 1,127,520  
    Direct labor 266,800  
    Variable factory overhead 125,280  
    Fixed factory overhead 148,480  
    Fixed selling and administrative expenses 40,400  
    Variable selling and administrative expenses 48,800  

    The company is evaluating a proposal to manufacture 25,600 units instead of 23,200 units, thus creating an ending inventory of 2,400 units. Manufacturing the additional units will not change sales, unit variable factory overhead costs, total fixed factory overhead cost, or total selling and administrative expenses.

    a. 1. Prepare an estimated income statement, comparing operating results if 23,200 and 25,600 units are manufactured in the absorption costing format. If an amount box does not require an entry leave it blank.

    b. What is the reason for the difference in operating income reported for the two levels of production by the absorption costing income statement?

    The increase in income from operations under absorption costing is caused by the allocation of   overhead cost over a   number of units. Thus, the cost of goods sold is  . The difference can also be explained by the amount of   overhead cost included in the   inventory.
