    A company sold 56000 units of its single product in a period for a total revenue of $700,000.
    Finished Inventory increased by 4000 units in the period. Cost in the period were:

    variable production $3.60 per unit
    Fixed production $258,000 (absorbed on the actual number of units produced)
    Fixed non production $144,000

    What is the absorption costing profit?

    Question 2

    E operates a marginal costing system. For the forthcoming year, variable costs are budgeted to be 60% of sales value and fixed costs are budgeted to be 10% of sales value.

    If E increases its selling prices by 10%, but if fixed costs, variable costs per unit and sales volume remain unchanged, the effect on E’s contribution would be:

    a. decrease of 2%
    b. an increase of 5%
    c. an increase of 10%
    d. an increase of 25%

    I am happy to help with problems, but presumably whatever book you found these question in also has the answers!

    Please tell me what problem you are having and I will then try and help, but do not just set me questions to answer.

    Suppose sales were $100.
    Then variable costs would be $60 and contribution would be $40.

    If selling prices go up by 10% then they go to $110. Variable costs do not change and therefore contribution would be $50.

    Increase in contribution is 10/40 = 25%
