Krepps Corporation produces a single product. Last year, Krepps manufactured 34,930 units and sold 29,900 units. Production costs for the year were as follows:
Direct materials | $ | 265,468 | |
Direct labor | $ | 171,157 | |
Variable manufacturing overhead | $ | 300,398 | |
Fixed manufacturing overhead | $ | 454,090 | |
Sales totaled $1,330,550 for the year, variable selling and administrative expenses totaled $170,430, and fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $261,975. There was no beginning inventory. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
Under absorption costing, the ending inventory for the year would be valued at:
Units in ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Units manufactured - Units sold
= 0 + 34,930 - 29,900
= 5,030 units
Unit Product cost = (Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing cost + Fixed manufacturing cost) / Units manufactured
= ($265,468 + $171,157 + $300,398 + $454,090) / 34,930 units
= $1,191,113 / 34,930 units
= $34.10
Ending inventory for the year would be valued = Units in ending inventory * Unit Product cost
= 5,030 * $34.10
= $171,523
