Question

The Van Halen Company manufactures and sells guitar tuners. The data table below provides selected company information for Van Halen’s operation over the past year:

Units sold during year

30,000

Units produced during year

45,000

Units in ending inventory

15,000

Variable manufacturing (product) cost per unit

$ 4.50

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost (annual total)

$ 20,250

Selling price per unit

$ 12.00

Variable selling and administrative expense per unit

$ 1.00

Fixed selling and administrative expenses (annual total)

$ 4,000

Note there were no units sitting in the company’s beginning inventory for the year. Using the information in the company’s data table above, please answer the following four multi-part questions by inserting your answers directly into each of the empty “answer boxes” provided. The multiple answer boxes for each question have purposely been listed in a logical, step-by-step sequence to smoothly walk you through the required calculations and solution to each problem. Questions #1 and #2 require you to use the given company data from the above table to produce a full (absorption) costing income statement and then calculate the corresponding value of the ending inventory applying full (absorption) costing. Questions #3 and #4 are similar to Questions #1 and #2, respectively, except these will instead require you to produce a variable costing (contribution margin) income statement and then calculate the corresponding value of the ending inventory applying variable costing.

To assist you in completing all portions of these four multi-part questions, note that beside each empty answer box is a brief hint (if needed) indicating how you can quickly arrive at the answer to enter into each box. In some cases, these hints will simply refer you back to a piece of information obtained directly from the table of company data given above. In other cases, you may need to calculate an answer through addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division of previously completed values in earlier answer boxes. It’s also possible that an entry to a specific answer box will just need to be copied from a previously calculated value. It’s up to you to understand each of the pieces of data, work through the calculation process, and insert the appropriate answers into each answer box.
