During 20x5, Bey Company reported an operating income of $82554 using absorption costing and an operating income of $67722 using variable costing. 18554 units were produced during 20x5 and sales during 20x5 totaled 13569. What is he fixed overhead application rate per unit (it has been stable for the past 3 years)?
Select one:
a. $2.98
b. $14832
c. $1.09
d. $0.80
Solution 1:
Units in Ending Inventory = 30,982 - 20,735 = 10,247 units
Fixed manufacturing overhead deferred in Ending Inventory under Absorption costing = $102422/30982 *10247 = $33,875
Net Operating Income Under Absorption costing = Operating income using Variable costing + Fixed manufacturing overhead deferred in Inventory under Absorption costing
= $80429 + $33875
= $114,304
Hence, option "c" is correct.
Solution 2:
Ending inventory units = 18554 - 13569 = 4,985 units
Fixed manufacturing overhead deferred in Ending Inventory = Operating Income using Absorption costing - Operating income using variable costing
= $82554- $67722 = $14,832
Fixed overhead application rate per unit = $14832/ 4985 = $2.98 per unit
Hence option "a" is correct.
