Answer 1

Question:1

The Answer is $ 332,500

Explanation:

1) Income under variable and absorption is different because under variable costing total fixed manufacturing overhead cost is considered but under absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead cost is considered in relating to units sold

2) Income under Absorption Costing = Income under variable costing - Proportionate Fixed Manufacturing costs

Income under Absorption Costing = $400,000 - [ $ 324,000 / 36000 * 7500] = $ 332,500

Question:2

The Answer is $ 72.00

Explanation:

Production cost per unit under variable costing = Total Variable cost = 28 +33 +11 = 72
