Vaughn Manufacturing sells its product for $60 per unit. During 2019, it produced 58800 units and sold 49000 units (there was no beginning inventory). Costs per unit are: direct materials $15, direct labor $9, and variable overhead $3. Fixed costs are: $705600 manufacturing overhead, and $88200 selling and administrative expenses. Under absorption costing, what amount of fixed overhead is deferred to a future period?
$117600. |
$147000. |
$705600. |
$29400. |
Fixed manufacturing cost = $705,600
Number of units produced = 58,800
Number of units sold = 49,000
Ending inventory = Number of units produced- Number of units sold
= 58,800-49,000
= 9,800 units
Fixed manufacturing overhead included in ending inventory = Fixed manufacturing overhead x Ending inventory / Number of units produced
= 705,600 x 9,800/58,800
= $117,600
Hence fixed overhead deferred to future period = $117,600
First option is correct.
