Problem - Consider the following information pertaining to a year's operations of Youngstown Manufacturing:

Units sold 1,400

Units produced 1,600

Direct labor $4,200

Direct materials used 3,500

Fixed manufacturing overhead 2,200

Variable manufacturing overhead 300

Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed) 700

Beginning inventories 0

Contribution margin 5,600

Direct-material inventory, end 800

There are no work-in-process inventories.

1. What is the ending finished-goods inventory cost under absorption costing?

2. What is the ending finished-goods inventory cost under variable costing?

Chan Manufacturing Company data for 20X7 follow:

Sales: 12,000 units at $17 each

Actual production 15,000 units

Expected volume of production 18,000 units

Manufacturing costs incurred

Variable $120,000

Fixed 63,000

Nonmanufacturing costs incurred

Variable $ 24,000

Fixed 18,000

1. Determine operating income for 20X7, assuming the firm uses the variable-costing approach to product costing. (Do not prepare a statement.)

2. Assume that there is no January 1, 20X7, inventory; no variances are allocated to inventory; and the firm uses a "full absorption" approach to product costing. Compute (a) the cost assigned to December 31, 20X7, inventory; and (b) operating income for the year ended December 31, 20X7.
