Smith Taxi Service had the following information for the 160 customers served this month: Sales Revenue $13,000 Variable Costs 7,000 = Contribution Margin $6,000 What is the variable cost per customer (to the nearest cent)?

$43.75 (7000/160)

Jones Company incurred the following costs while producing 100 chairs: Units produced 100 chairs Direct materials $10 per unit Direct labor 15 per unit Variable manufacturing overhead 3 per unit Total fixed manufacturing overhead 2,000 Variable selling and administrative 4 per unit Fixed selling and administrative 3,000 What is the ending balance in Finished Goods Inventory using variable costing if 75 units are sold (assume no beginning inventory in Finished Goods Inventory)?

$700 First, calculate the cost per unit for variable costing. Variable costing for the cost of one unit = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead = $10 + $15 + $3 = $28 There are 25 units left in ending inventory (100 units produced - 75 units sold). In this case, 25 units * $28 cost per unit = $700 in Finished Goods Inventory.

Abby Cleaning Service had the following information for the 200 customers served this month: Sales Revenue $20,000 Variable Costs 8,000 What is the contribution margin ratio?

Absorption Costing Sales (80 units x $150) $ 12,000 Cost of Goods Sold (80 units x $48**) 3,840 Gross Profit 8,160 Selling and Administrative Costs: Variable S&A Costs (80 units x $4) $320 Fixed S&A Costs 3,000 3,320 Operating Income $4,840 Cost of Goods Sold = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + fixed manufacturing overhead = $10 + $15 + $3 + $20 = $48 Fixed manufacturing overhead of $20 per unit = total fixed manufacturing overhead / total units = $2,000 / 100 = $20

Jones Company incurred the following costs while producing 100 chairs: Units produced 100 chairs Direct materials $10 per unit Direct labor 15 per unit Variable manufacturing overhead 3 per unit Total fixed manufacturing overhead 2,000 Variable selling and administrative 4 per unit Fixed selling and administrative 8,000 What is the unit product cost using absorption costing?

Absorption costing for the cost of one unit = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = $10 + $15 + $3 + ($2,000 / 100 chairs) = $48

What is the primary difference when calculating the cost per unit between the variable costing and absorption costing? Variable costing includes fixed selling and administrative as a product cost. Absorption costing includes fixed selling and administrative as a product cost. Variable costing includes fixed manufacturing overhead as a product cost. Absorption costing includes fixed manufacturing overhead as a product cost.

Absorption costing includes fixed manufacturing overhead as a product cost. Explanation: Absorption costing includes fixed manufacturing overhead as a product cost. Fixed manufacturing overhead is not part of the product cost in variable costing. Fixed selling and administrative costs are not part of the product cost in either absorption or variable costing, as they are period costs.

Assumes ABC Company had 50 units in beginning Finished Goods Inventory and sold 1,213 units. Additional data includes: Units produced 1,200 unit Direct materials $12 per unit Direct labor 8 per unit Variable manufacturing overhead 2 per unit Fixed manufacturing overhead 7 per unit Using absorption costing, what is the dollar amount of ending Finished Goods Inventory

First, calculate the cost per unit for absorption costing. Absorption costing for the cost of one unit = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = $12 + $8 + $2 + $7 = $29 per unit Next, calculate the number of units in Finished Goods Inventory. Finished Goods Inventory = beginning finished goods + units produced - units sold = 50 + 1,200 - 1,213 = 37 units Last, take $29 cost per unit x 37 units in ending finished goods = $1,073 in ending Finished Goods Inventory.

Assumes ABC Company had 50 units in beginning Finished Goods Inventory and sold 1,213 units. Additional data includes: Units produced 1,200 unit Direct materials $12 per unit Direct labor 8 per unit Variable manufacturing overhead 2 per unit Fixed manufacturing overhead 7 per unit Using variable costing, what is the dollar amount of ending Finished Goods Inventory?

First, calculate the cost per unit for variable costing. Variable costing for the cost of one unit = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead = $12 + $8 + $2 = $22 Next, calculate the number of units in Finished Goods Inventory. Finished Goods Inventory = beginning finished goods + units produced - units sold = 50 + 1,200 - 1,213 = 37 units Last, take $22 cost per unit x 37 units in ending finished goods = $814 in ending Finished Goods Inventory. Note: Fixed manufacturing overhead is only included in the absorption costing method.

Jones Company incurred the following costs while producing 100 chairs: Units produced 100 chairs Direct materials $10 per unit Direct labor 15 per unit Variable manufacturing overhead 3 per unit Total fixed manufacturing overhead 2,000 Variable selling and administrative 4 per unit Fixed selling and administrative 3,000 What is the ending balance in Finished Goods Inventory using absorption costing if 80 units are sold (assume no beginning inventory in Finished Goods Inventory)?

First, calculate the cost per unit. Absorption costing for the cost of one unit = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead + fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = $10 + $15 + $3 + ($2,000 / 100 chairs) = $48 There are 20 units left in ending inventory (100 units produced - 80 units sold). In this case, 20 units * $48 cost per unit = $960 in Finished Goods Inventory.

Review your computations from Requirement 1 and Requirement 2. Note that BeckerBecker has the highest contribution margin percentage. When breaking down numbers into​ per-customer amounts we see that each customer is being charged the same amount. The​ reason, then, for BeckerBecker being the most profitable is that this segment has the lowest variable costs per customer​ (and thus the highest contribution margin per​ customer).

List some possible reasons why this segment was most profitable. How might the various reasons affect the company in the long​ term? Why might one​ segment's variable costs be lower than the​ others? Possible reasons for the profitability of this business segment include lower employee​ wages, better routes with shorter drive times allowing more customers to be​ served, employees cutting corners when performing service​ calls, and reducing the amount of pool chemicals used in service calls. The possible side effects of these items could be increased employee turnover because of low​ wages, less fuel and maintenance costs because of efficient​ routes, dissatisfied customers because of inadequate​ service, or increased service costs because of reduceb d pool chemical usage causing poor water quality and additional service calls.

Abby Cleaning Services planned to provide cleaning services to 50 customers for $30 per hour during the month. Each job was expected to take 4 hours. The company actually served 5 less customers than expected and spent an average on each job of 4.5 hours. What is Abby Cleaning Services Revenue for the month?

Planned revenues for month were 50 customers x $30 per hour x 4 hours average per job = $6,000. Actual revenues were 45 customers x $30 per hour x 4.5 hours average per job = $6,075. Therefore, the company made $75 more than expected ($6,075 actual - $6,000 expected).

Variable costing for the cost of one unit = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing overhead = $10 + $15 + $3 = $28

Smith Company sells hot tub covers. The price of a cover is $200. Variable product costs are $120 per unit and commissions are $10 per unit. Fixed overhead is $20,000. 2,000 units were produced and sold. Smith Company's contribution margin ratio is:

Variable costs are $120 for variable product cost + $10 in sales commissions = $130. The contribution margin ratio is ($200 selling price - $130 total variable costs) / $200 selling price = 35%. The fixed manufacturing overhead is a fixed costs and not part of contribution margin or contribution margin ratio.
