Truo Corporation produces a single product. Last year, the company had net operating income of $100,000 using variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 13,000 units and 18,000 units, respectively. If the fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $4 per unit both last year and this year, what would have been the net operating income using absorption costing?
$120,000 Explanation Manufacturing overhead deferred in (released from) inventory = Fixed manufacturing overhead in ending inventory − Fixed manufacturing overhead in beginning inventory = ($4 per unit × 18,000 units) − ($4 per unit × 13,000 units) = $20,000
Buckson Framing's cost formula for its supplies cost is $1,350 per month plus $18 per frame. For the month of June, the company planned for activity of 716 frames, but the actual level of activity was 713 frames. The actual supplies cost for the month was $14,820. The supplies cost in the flexible budget for June would be closest to:
$14,184 Explanation Cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost per unit × q) = $1,350 + ($18 × 713) = $14,184
Herrod Catering uses two measures of activity, jobs and meals, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for catering supplies is $590 per month plus $108 per job plus $24 per meal. A typical job involves serving a number of meals to guests at a corporate function or at a host's home. The company expected its activity in December to be 16 jobs and 125 meals, but the actual activity was 11 jobs and 130 meals. The actual cost for catering supplies in December was $4,750. The spending variance for catering supplies in December would be closest to:
$148 F Explanation Actual results$4,750Flexible budget [$590 + ($108 × 11) + ($24 × 130)]4,898Spending variance$ 148 Since the actual expense is Less than the flexible budget, the variance is favorable (F).
Stockmaster Corporation has provided the following contribution format income statement. Assume that the following information is within the relevant range. Sales (8,000 units)$ 320,000 Variable expenses 192,000 Contribution margin 128,000 Fixed expenses 121,600 Net operating income$ 6,400 The margin of safety in dollars is closest to:
$16,000 Explanation Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales = $128,000 ÷ $320,000 = 40% Dollar sales to break even = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio = $121,600 ÷ 40% = $304,000 Margin of safety in dollars = Total budgeted (or actual) sales − Break-even sales = $320,000 − $304,000 = $16,000

Sales (4,000 units) $ 240,000 Variable expenses 156,000 Contribution margin 84,000 Fixed expenses 81,900 Net operating income $ 2,100 The break-even point in dollar sales is closest to:
$234,000 Explanation: Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales = $84,000 ÷ $240,000 = 35% Dollar sales to break even = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio = $81,900 ÷ 35% = $234,000
Kirnon Catering uses two measures of activity, jobs and meals, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for catering supplies is $300 per month plus $114 per job plus $16 per meal. A typical job involves serving a number of meals to guests at a corporate function or at a host's home. The company expected its activity in October to be 27 jobs and 224 meals, but the actual activity was 29 jobs and 227 meals. The actual cost for catering supplies in October was $7,500. The activity variance for catering supplies in October would be closest to:

Mio Canoe Livery rents canoes and transports canoes and customers to and from their canoe trip on a local river. The trip is priced at $20 per person and has a CM ratio of 30%. Mio's fixed expenses are $84,000. Last year, sales were $400,000 and profit was $36,000. How many units need to be sold to break-even, and how many need to be sold to earn a profit of $42,000?
14,000 and 21,000 Explanation Dollar sales to break even = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio = $84,000 ÷ 0.30 = $280,000 Unit sales to break even = $280,000 ÷ $20 per person = 14,000 persons Dollar sales to attain a target profit = (Target profit + Fixed expenses) ÷ Contribution margin ratio = ($42,000 + $84,000) ÷ 0.30 = $420,000 Unit sales to attain a target profit = $420,000 ÷ $20 per person = 21,000 persons

When preparing a direct materials budget, the required purchases of raw materials in units equals:
raw materials needed to meet the production schedule + desired ending inventory of raw materials − beginning inventory of raw materials.
The usual starting point for a master budget is:
the sales forecast or sales budget.
Assuming that direct labor is a variable cost, the primary difference between the absorption and variable costing is that:
variable costing treats only direct materials, direct labor, and the variable portion of manufacturing overhead as product costs while absorption costing treats direct materials, direct labor, the variable portion of manufacturing overhead, and an allocated portion of fixed manufacturing overhead as product costs.
The costing method that treats all fixed costs as period costs is:
variable costing.
