    When should the fixed OH cost need to deduct from the selling price ?

    Sales price $30/unit
    Direct materials $10/unit
    Direct labour $5/unit
    Variable production overheads $2/unit
    Fixed overheads $300
    Sales volume 100unit

    *****This is due to the requirement ?
    If profit using MC then we should need to deduct Fixed OH from selling price
    {[30-(10+5+2)]*100}-300=1000
    If the requirement wants contribution using MC we no need to deduct FOH from selling price ?
    {[30-(10+5+2)]*100=1300

    The definition of contribution is that it is the selling price less the variable (i.e. marginal) costs.

    I do suggest that you watch my free lectures. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
