Answer 1

Step 1:

Variable Manufacturing Cost = Total cost of goods manufactured – Fixed manufacturing cost

= $2,080,000 - $208,000 = $1,872,000

Variable Cost per Unit = $1,872,000 ÷ 26,000 (units) = $72

Variable Selling and Administrative Expenses = Total Selling and Administrative Expenses - Fixed Selling and Administrative expenses

= $170,000 - $115,000 = $55,000

Variable Cost per Unit = $55,000 ÷ 26,000 (units) =$2.12(Approx.)

Step 2:

Total Variable Cost = $1,872,000 + $55,000 = $1,927,000

Total Variable Cost per Unit = $1,927,000 ÷ 26,000 = $74.12(Approx.)

Step 3:

Total Fixed Cost = Fixed Manufacturing Costs + Fixed Selling and Administrative Expenses

= $208,000 + $115,000 = $323,000

Step 4:

Variable Costing Income Statement

For the Month Ended November 30

Sales (23,000 units)		$3,450,000
Cost of goods sold:
Variable Cost: Cost of goods manufactured Selling and administrative expenses	26,000 × $72 26,000 × $2.12	$1,872,000 $55,000 (Calculated value will be $55,120 but taken the actual value )
Total Variable Cost	$1,872,000 + $55,000	$1,927,000
Less: Closing Inventory	3000 × $74.12(Approx.)	$222,360
Total cost of goods sold	1,927,000 - 222,360	$1,704,640
Contribution Margin	3,450,000 - 1,704,640	$1,745,360
Less: Fixed Cost	$208,000 + $115,000	$323,000
Income from operations	1,745,360 - 323,000	$1,422,360

Step 5:

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin ÷ Sales × 100 = 1,745,360 ÷ 3,450,000 × 100 = 50.59%
