    H 15120 – 10000 ( capacity 10000 units x 100%)
    L 11280 – 6000 ( capacity 10000 units x 40%)
    3840 & 4000

    VC per unit : 3840/4000 = $0.96
    FC : 15120 – (10000 x $0.96)=$5520
    if operates capacity of 85% : 10000 x 85%=8500 x $0.96=$8160

    y = a + b x
    y= 13680 + 0.96x

    answer is $13,680

    hi sir, I did tried to do this questions but there are two questions not able answer and hope you can please give some advise to complete it:

    refer my above question

    question 1
    assuming that the fixed production overheads absorption rate is based upon normal production of 12,000 units per month, what will be the profit for month 2 using the absorption costing method?
    answer is 2,375

    question 2
    what would the profit for month 3 be using the marginal costing?
    answer is 17,000

    thank you

    hi sir ,
    my working below :
    input 2800+200 = 3000 kg value at $21,150 ( 2700x$7.50=20250+900=21150)
    less : normal loss = 300kgx$3 = $900
    total : 2700 kg & $20,250

    $20,250/2700kg=$7.50

    the answer should be D.$21,150

    thank you

    hi all, for my understanding :
    under absorbed that is because in budgeting only expected to the cost $105,000 but in the actual production the cost only did use $108,875 therefore for budgeting is under absorption :

    budget overheads cost$105,000
    actual overheads cost $108,875
    under absorbed $3875

    thank you

    hi sir, thank you for your reply
    I’m asked the total cost of my question, because in free lectures chapter 7- overheads – questions 5 to ask it but the question I think should be job costing and regret wrong to ask.

    hi sir, thank you for the reply

    In fact, I was able to get the overheads absorption rate, but do not know how to calculate for budgeted fixed overhead cost per unit for product Y, whether it is important in this type of questions in exam ?

    my working for OAR :
    P
    36×6000 units = 216,000
    48x7500units = 360,000
    total 576,000minutes / 60 minutes = 9600 hours
    $96000 / 9600 hrs = $10
    F
    25x6000units = 150,000
    35x7500units = 262,500
    total 412,500/60=6875 hours therefore $82500/6875hours=$12

    now I able to know cost per unit : 48/60X$10=$8 and 35/60x$12=$7
    therefore product y for P $8+for F $7=$15 the answer is D.$15
    hi sir , what about if question ask total cost ?
    thank you

    Hi sir , please correct the following :

    b/f units – 100 x $5 = $500
    4th receipt – 150 x $5.50 = $825
    total : 250 units & $1325

    1325/250 = $5.30

    16th – issue – 100 units x $5.30 = $530

    inventory bal. 150 units x $5.30 = $795
    20th – receipt – 100 units x $6 = $600
    total : 250 units & $1395

    1395/250=$5.58

    21th – issue 75 units x $5.58=$418.50

    inventory bal . 175units x $5.58 = $976.50

    now I can get the answer is B.$976.50 ?

    thank you

    hi sir , thank you for the reply

    if calculate the budgeted opening and closing finished goods inventory for quarter 1 to thousand units.

    the calculation of the following correct ?
    opening finished goods inventory : 1,950,000 ( sales units quarter 1 ) x 6/78 = 150,000 units ?
    closing finished goods inventory : 2,275,000 ( sales unit quarter 2) x 6/78 = 175,000 units ?

    hi sir , thanks your explanation

    if closing finish goods inventory in Quarter 4 is 150,000 units. calculation the number of units to be produced in quarter 4 to the nearest thousand unit, whether correct below?

    quarter 4 – 2.275,000 x 6/78 = 175,000 units for opening ?
    ( 13 week x $6 per kg = 78 days per quarter ? closing inventory based on 6days demand but now question give is 150,000 units? )

    therefore 2,275 +150-175=2,250
    2,250 units should be produce units in quarter 4 ?

    thank you

    available for sale 1,975,000 units means that sold unit it should be also 1,9750,000 units?
    therefore, understanding the unit to remain in inventory is zero?

    can you please explain if the demand is more than the amount available, then there will be zero inventory left ? demand in this question is how ?
    if the demand is less than the amount available then the inventory left will be the difference ? amount available is how much?

    why use logic here ? is not use functional budget ?

    why opening added to produce units ? produce unit whether is sales unit for restrictions of quarter 3 sales unit of 3,250,000?
    production budget is in quantity it should be sales unit + closing – opening + loss unit,
    same material purchase budget.

    can you please explain the calculation for this question , I’m sorry , sir. thank you.

    another question :

    the company’s raw material supplier has informed them that due to restrictions on the manufacture of raw material, the supply to the company will be restricted to 6,600,000 kg per quarter for the foreseeable future beginning from quarter 1. Y co decides to purchase the maximum amount of material available in each quarter and build up inventory of finished goods whenever possible. Under these restrictions the budgeted opening finished goods inventory in quarter 3 will be 325,000 units.

    calculate a revised closing finished goods inventory for quarter 3 to the nearest unit, taking into account the restrictions on the raw material supply.

    please help. thank you

    produce units 3,175,000 x 100/80 = 3,968,750 units x 4kg = 15,875,000 kg x $6 per kg = $95,250,000.

    nearest thousand dollars of budgeted cost of raw material usage should be $95,250,000 ?

    Q1
    actual unit sold were 1200 less than budgeted :
    because budgeted units 12,000 – actual units 10,800 = 1200 units ?

    and actual sales revenue was 1640? because actual units sold 10800 x $150 =$1620000 + $20000 F = $1640000 ? therefore 1640 should be correct as actual sales revenue.

    Q2
    production was : should be 100 units less budgeted ?
    because the variance 2000 A / $20 per units = 100 units means that standards are not met the budgeted ?
    ( understand costed at fixed overhead $20 per unit)

    Q3
    material usage $8000 adverse , because 320kg in flexed budget the usage used more than original budget plan?

    material price variance is $7500 F , therefore material caused the biggest cost variance , where a decision to pay is less than the original budget and not a more than ?

    Q4
    actual selling price higher than standard because :
    sales price variance is Favourable of $20,000?
    which is actual sold units 10800 x $150=$1620000 + $20000 F ?

    please correct me the above , thank you

    thank you for the reply

    can you please refer above question again, the below question ask :

    Q 1.
    actual units sold were : 400 less than / 400 more than / 1200 less than / 1200 more than
    budgeted and actual sales revenue was : 1640 / 1600 / 549 / 560 ?

    my answer ;
    actual units sold were 1200 less than budgeted and
    actual sales revenue was $ ?
    ( I could not work out the answer? )

    Q 2.
    production was : 100 units more / 2000 units more / 100units less / 350units more than budgeted ?
    how to get the answer ?

    Q 3.
    material caused the biggest cost variance , where a decision to pay : less that / more than , standard price resulted in the company using : 320 kg less than original / 320 kg more than flexed / 320 less than flexed / 320 more than original budget .

    how to get the answer ? what does mean decision to pay ? flexed mean in actual production ? and budgeted is cannot change?
    I have take 8000 A / $25 = 300kg is actual usage used over the budget ? therefore is 7500 A?

    Q 4
    In the last month actual selling price was : equal to / higher than / lower than , standard ?
    my answer is higher than, is correct ?

    thank you

    please correct me the below calculation to get the budgeted & actual units :

    budgeted unit : budgeted profit $600,000 / $50 = 12,000 units ?
    actual unit : standard profit on actual sales $540,000 / $50 = 10,800 units ?
