Pls help another questions & based my working why under absorbed $6000 is added :
Question
Direct materials $4 per unit
Direct labour $15 per unit
Selling price $50Fixed production ohs are budgeted to be $30,000 per month and are absorbed on an activity level of 10,000 units per month.
For the month in question , sales are expected to be 10,000 units although production units will be 12,000 units.
Fixed selling costs of $15,000 per mth will need to be included in the budget as will the variable selling costs of $2 per unit.
There are no opn stks.
What would the profit for using AC ? and MC ?
Below is my working
I can get the answer of mc 245,000 for profit but in order to get the answer of AC the profit is 251,000 I have added the under absorbed $6000.
can you please explain since is under why is added $6000? or my working is not correct? see the following working :
To find OAR : $30000 / 10000 units = $3
To find MC cost per unit : 4+15 = $19
To find AC cost per unit : 4+15+oar $3 = $22Calculate over / under absorbed : actual prod. 12,000 units – budgeted prod. 10,000 units = 2000 units x $3 = $6000 under absorbed
AC:
Sales ( $50×10000 units ) = $500,000
Add : prod costs 12,000 x $22 = 264,000
Less : clg inventory 12,000-10,000 = 2000 x $22 = $44,000
Add : under absorbed = $6000
Less : fixed selling cost = $15,000
Less : variable selling costs 10000 x $2=20,000Net profit 251,000
January 2, 2015 at 9:12 am #221897I asked you before whether or not you had watched the lectures. You have not replied!!
Your calculation of $6,000 is correct. However they have over-absorbed $6000 (because they will have charged 12,000 units at $3 each = $36,000 when the actual total should only be $30,000).
If they have charged too much then the profit will be too low. So to correct it we add the over absorption of 6000 to the profit.
January 3, 2015 at 4:06 pm #221925In your lectures reminder , we will take an estimated units which 12000 units for actual rather than take budgeted production 10,000 unit ?
Therefore, $6000 is over absorbed ?January 4, 2015 at 9:09 am #221949That is correct 🙂
