Explanation:

1 and 2 The computation of unit productive cost using absorption costing and unit product cost using variable costing is shown below:-

                                     Absorption        Variable

Direct material                   $15                   $15

Direct labor                         $5                    $5

Variable manufacturing

overhead                             $12                  $12

Fixed manufacturing

overhead                              $10        

($20,000 ÷ 2000)  

Product cost                        $42                $32

Therefore for computing the product cost of absorption and variable cost we simply added direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead and fixed overhead rate

3. The computation of the unit product cost using variable costing is shown below:-

Sales                                          $180,000

Cost of goods manufactured   ($756,00)

(1800 × $42)

Difference                                   $104,400

Variable and selling

administrative                             ($25,200)

(1800 × $14)

Gross profit                                  $79,200

Fixed selling and administrative

expenses                                     ($10,000)

Net operating income                $69,200

So, for computing the net operating income we simply deduct the Fixed selling and administrative expenses from gross profit.

4. The computation of operating income using variable costing is shown below:-

Sales                                               $190,000

(1,900 × $100)

Variable cost of goods

manufactured                                   $60,800

(1,900 × $32)

Gross contribution margin                $129,200

Variable and selling administrative   ($26,600)

(1900 × $14)

Net contribution margin                     $102,600

Fixed cost                                           ($30,000)

Operating income                              $72,600

Therefore for computing the operating income using variable costing we simply deduct the fixed cost from net contribution margin.
