'Assume that the company uses variable costing Compute the unit product cos fir a storage cabinet. 2. Assume that the company uses variable costing., Prepare a contribution form 3. What is the company's break-even point in terms of units sold? ome statement for the year.

Explanation / Answer

1. Unit Product Cost - Variable Costing

Direct material = 8

Direct Labour = 10

Variable manufacturing overhead = 2

So total unit product cost = 10 + 8 + 2 = 20

2. Sales: (21,500 x $35) = $ 752,500

Variable Expenses:

Variable COGS:

Variable Manufacturing Cost (25,000 units made x $20 per units) = 500,000

  Goods available for sale: 500,000

Less ending inventory: (3500 units x $20 per unit) = 70,000

Variable Cost of goods sold = $ 500000 - $ 70000 = $430,000

Variable Selling and Admin. expenses (21,500 x $4 per unit) = 86,000 Total: (516,000)

Cont Margin (752,500 – 516,000) = $236,500

Fixed Expenses:

Fixed Manufacturing overhead = 75,000

Fixed Selling & Admin = 110,000 Total: (185,000)

Operating Profit: 236,500 - 185,000 = $51,500

3. Break even point in quantity = 185,000/ (35-24) = 16,819 units ( Fixed cost / UCM )

Because UCM = $35 – 20 – 4 = $11
