Hadley Corporation, which has only one product, has provided the following data concerning its most recent month of operations Selling price $ 170 Units in beginning inventory Units produced Units sold Units in ending inventory 100 2,138 870 1,368 Variable costs per unit: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Variable selling and administrative expense 30 s10 s 13 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing overhead Fixed selling and administrative expense $27,690 $17,400 What is the total period cost for the month under variable costing?

Explanation / Answer

1) Under Variable costing, only variable costing is considered as a part of product costs and all the fixed costs are considered as period costs. The total period costs for the month is calculated as follows:-

Total Period cost = Fixed Manufacturing Overhead+Fixed Selling and Administrative expense   

= $27,690+$17,400 = $45,090

2) Ending Inventory in units = Units Produced - Units Sold

= 6,020 units - 5,920 units = 100 units

Cost of ending inventory = Ending Inventory in units*Variable production cost per unit

= 100 units*$35 per unit = $3,500

Therfore the carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory of finished goods under variable costing would be $3,500.
