$4 × (12,000 − 10,000) = $4 × 2,000

= $8,000 greater than the income under variable costing since inventory increased
Use the following to answer questions 66-68:

Phearsum Corporation manufactures a parachute. Shown below is Phearsum's cost structure:

Variable cost per Total fixed cost


parachute for the year
Manufacturing cost .................. $160 $342,000
Selling and administrative ........ $10 $171,000

In its first year of operations, Phearsum produced and sold 4,000 parachutes. The parachutes sold
for $310 each.

66. If Phearsum would have sold only 3,800 parachutes in its first year, what total amount of
cost would have been assigned to the 200 parachutes in finished goods inventory under
the variable costing method?
A) $28,000
B) $32,000
C) $34,000
D) $49,100

LO: 1 Level: Easy

Solution:

Unit product cost = $160


Total cost of ending finished goods inventory = $160 × 200 = $32,000
67. Refer back to the original data. How would Phearsum's absorption costing net operating
income been affected in its first year if only 3,800 parachutes were sold instead of 4,000?
A) net operating income would have been $2,350 lower
B) net operating income would have been $10,900 lower
C) net operating income would have been $12,900 lower
D) net operating income would have been $28,000 lower

Ans: B AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting
LO: 1,2 Level: Hard

Solution:

Unit fixed manufacturing overhead = $342,000 ÷ 4,000 = $85.50


Unit product cost under absorption costing = $160 + $85.50 = $245.50
Unit gross margin = $310 − $245.50 = $64.50
Cost savings ($10 × 200).................................... $ 2,000
Less: decrease in gross margin ($64.50 × 200) .. 12,900
Net operating income increase (decrease) .......... ($10,900)

68. Refer back to the original data. How would Phearsum's variable costing net operating
income been affected in its first year if 4,500 parachutes were produced instead of 4,000
and Phearsum still sold 4,000 parachutes?
A) net operating income would not have been affected
B) net operating income would have been $38,000 higher
C) net operating income would have been $57,000 higher
D) net operating income would have been $75,000 lower
