Variable Costing

A method of costing that includes only variable production costs in product costs, treating fixed manufacturing overhead as a period cost to be charged against revenue in the period incurred.

Absorption Costing

A strategy in accounting that involves incorporating costs related to manufacturing, including direct materials, direct labor, and variable and fixed overheads, into the price point of a product.

Production Cost

The total expense incurred in manufacturing a product, including materials, labor, and overhead.

  • Calculate production cost per unit, ending inventory costs under both variable and absorption costing.

Final Answer :
a.$17 DL + $34 DM + $26 VOH = $77 per unit under variable costing
b.$77 + ($1,940,000/97,000)FOH = $97 per unit under absorption costing
c.(97,000 units - 92,000 units)× $77 per unit = $385,000 ending inventory under variable costing
d.(97,000 units - 92,000 units)× $97 per unit = $485,000 ending inventory under absorption costing
