1. Harris Company produces a single product. Last year Harris manufactured 17,500 units and sold 12,700 units. Production costs for the year were as follows:


Sales were $774,700 for the year, variable selling and administrative expenses were $78,740, and fixed selling and administrative expenses were $161,000. There was no beginning inventory. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
Under absorption costing, the carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory for the year would be:

2. The costing method that can be used most easily with break-even analysis and other cost-volume-profit techniques is:

4. Which of the following statements is true?

5. Which of the following is the correct formula to compute the predetermined overhead Rate?

  Direct materials    $147,000   Direct labor    $101,500   Variable manufacturing overhead    $196,000   Fixed manufacturing overhead    $274,750

Explanation / Answer

1) $148,347
2) process costing.
3) $15,800

5) Actual total manufacturing overhead costs divided by estimated total units in the allocation base.
