MAbudgeted profit using a marginal costing system

JJegan9y ago
Dear John or somebody else I have my F2 exam this Thursday 24/11/16. I have a question on budgeted profit. This is from an exam paper from my tuition provider: Q Co. has the following budgeted information available: Cost/unit Direct Material $24 Direct Labour $28 Variable overhead $19 Fixed overheads are expected to be $500000. The following inventory information is also available: Units Opening inventory 4,800 Production 48,000 Sales 50,000 Using a marginal costing system, what is the budgeted profit if selling price per unit is $115? It says in the solutions that the answer is $1,700,000. I am not sure how to work this out. Can someone help me please on short notice. I would really appreciate it. Thanks :). Jegan

sale Revenue (50000*115) = 5750000 open Inventory (4800*71) = 340800 variable production cost (48000*71) = 3408000 closing Inventory (2800*71) = 198800 Variable cost of sale ( 340800+3408000-198800) = 3550000 Contribution ( 5750000-3550000) = 2200000 Fixed cost 500000 Profit (2200000-500000 ) = 1700000
