Question 1:
Walsh Company manufactures and sells one product. The following information pertains to each of the company’s first two years of operations:
Variable costs per unit:
Manufacturing:
Direct materials $ 25
Direct labor $ 15
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 5
Variable selling and administrative $ 2
Fixed costs per year:
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 250,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $ 80,000
During its first year of operations, Walsh produced 50,000 units and sold 40,000 units. During its second year of operations, it produced 40,000 units and sold 50,000 units. The selling price of the company’s product is $60 per unit.b.
Prepare an income statement for year 1 and year 2. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
Question #2:During Heaton Company’s first two years of operations, the company reported absorption costing net operating income as follows: Year 1 Year 2
Sales (@ $25 per unit) $ 1,000,000 $ 1,250,000
Cost of goods sold (@ $18 per unit) 720,000 900,000
Gross margin 280,000 350,000
Selling and administrative expenses* 210,000 230,000
Net operating income $ 70,000 $ 120,000
* $2 per unit variable; $130,000 fixed each year.
The company’s $18 unit product cost is computed as follows:
Direct materials $ 4
Direct labor 7
Variable manufacturing overhead 1
Fixed manufacturing overhead ($270,000 ÷ 45,000 units) 6
Absorption costing unit product cost $ 18
Forty percent of fixed manufacturing overhead consists of wages and salaries; the remainder consists of depreciation charges on production equipment and buildings.Production and cost data for the two years are: Year 1 Year 2
Units produced 45,000 45,000
Units sold 40,000 50,000Required:
