    Dear Sir,

    Would you please help with this question.
    A company sells a single product at a price of £14 per unit. Variable manufacturing costs of the product are £6.40 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overheads are absorbed into the cost of production at a unit rate (based on normal activity of 20000 units per period) are £92000 per period. Any over or under absorbed fixed manufacturing overhead balances are transferred to the income statement at the end of each period, in order to establish the manufacturing profit. Sales and production (in units) for two periods are as follows:
    Period 1 Sales 15000, production 18000, Period 2 Sales 22000, production 21000.. The manufacturing profit in Period 1 was reported as £35800.
    ? The manufacturing profit for period 2, using absorption costing was:
    My workings:
    Variable Cost per unit £6.40, plus (Budgeted OAR £92000 div by 20000 units) £4.60
    Total £11.00
    Sales (22000 units x £14) 308000
    Manufacturing cost of sales (22000 units x £11) 242000
    ————————————————————————
    £66000

    Opening stock(3000 x 11) 33000
    Production (21000 x 11) 231000
    Total 264000.
    Less Closing stock (2000 x 11) (22000)
    ——————————————————
    £242000
    Overhead (21000 units x 4.60) 96000
    Budgeted o/h 92000
    Under-absorbed overhead £ 4600
    Manufacturing profit £66000-4600=£61400
    But the answer is different. What exactly I did not calculate in the right way

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Everything you have done is correct, except that the overhead has been over-absorbed (not under-absorbed). They have absorbed 96,600, which is 4,600 more than it should have been.

    So….the correct profit is higher by 4,600 and is 66,000 + 4,600 = 70,600.
