Cost and selling prices for a product is given below :
Direct materials : $6/unit Direct Labour : $7.50.unit VOH : $2.50/unit Fixed OH absorption rate : $5
Profit = 9
SP = $30/ unit
Budgeted production for month was 5000 units and the company produced 5800 units and sold 5200 units incurred FOH costs of $27400.
The question is to find marginal and absorption costing profit
Now I found the marginal profit to be $45400
Absorption costing profit is $48400
My question is when I do the reconciliation method of profit assuming I had marginal profit 45400
45400 – absorption profit = 600 units * $5 45400 – 3000 = Absorption profit which is 42400 I dont understand why I dont get the same answer with the reconciliation method
