Explanation / Answer

1. COMPUTATION OF COST PER UNIT USES VARIABLE COSTING :

(A)COMPUTATION OF UNIT COST

                               OVERHEADS

(B) INCOME STATEMENT FOR YEAR 1 AND YEAR 2 :


2) COMPUTATION OF COST PER UNIT USES ABSORBING COSTING :

working note 1:

fixed manufacturing overheads = fixed manufacturing overheads / number of units produced

year 1 = 320000/50000 = 6.4

year 2 = 320000/40000 = 8

(B) INCOME STATEMENT FOR YEAR 1 AND YEAR 2 :

(c) computation of difference between variable costing and absorption costing net operating income in year 1 and year 2
