Omni, Inc. planned and actually manufactured 200,000 units of its single product in 20X4, its first year of operations. Variable manufacturing costs were $30 per unit of product. Planned and actual fixed manufacturing costs were $600.000, and selling and administrative costs totaled $400.000 in 20X4. Omni sold 120,000 units of product in 20X4 at a selling price of $40 per unit.

Omni's 20X4 operating income using absorption (full) costing is:

a)200,000

b) 440,000

c)660,000

d) 840,000

 

I do not understand how becker came up with the answer b. Can anyone please explain the steps and a shorter to method to arrive at the answer. Thanks

The key to the question is the fixed manufacturing costs.
Since you're using absorption costing, some of the cost
may remain in ending inventory.

Since 200,000 units were produced, the fixed
manufacturing cost per unit was $3 ($600k / 200k units).

So to get the answer...

Total sales = 4,800,000
less: var COGS 3,600,000
less: fixed COGS 360,000   ($3 x 120,000 units sold)
less: S&A Exp.   400,000
                = 440,000

And the other 240,000 of the fixed manufacturing costs
are stuck in inventory until sold.
