    hi every body


    Dremmon Corporation uses a standard cost accounting system. Data for the last fiscal
    year are as follows.
                                                                                                 Units
    Beginning inventory of finished goods                                  100
    Production during the year                                                    700
    Sales                                                                                      750
    Ending inventory of finished goods                                         50

                                                                                               Per Unit
    Product selling price                                                              $200
    Standard variable manufacturing cost                                      90
    Standard fixed manufacturing cost                                           20*
    Budgeted selling and administrative costs (all fixed)       $45,000


    *Denominator level of activity is 750 units for the year.

    There were no price, efficiency, or spending variances for the year, and actual selling and
    administrative expenses equaled the budget amount. Any volume variance is written off
    to cost of goods sold in the year incurred. There are no work-in-process inventories.

    Assuming that Dremmon used absorption costing, the amount of operating income earned
    in the last fiscal year was

    a. $21,500.
    b. $27,000.
    c. $28,000.
    d. $30,000.

    Correct answer a. Dremmon's operating income was $21,500 calculated as follows.

    Sales (750 x $200) $150,000
    COGS [750 x ($90 + $20)] 82,500
    Underapplied fixed cost (50 x $20) 1,000
    Selling & administrative 45,000
    Operating income $ 21,500

    The amount of fixed overhead applied to production was $20 per unit × 700 units produced, or $14,000. The amount produced (700 units) was lower than the expected amount of 750 units. Therefore, there is a fixed overhead production-volume variance of $1,000 ($20 × 50 units).

    The other thing to remember in this problem is that the problem stated that there were no other variances.
    That means that the budgeted fixed overhead of $15,000 is equal to the actual fixed overhead at $15,000.

    With sales of 700 units, only $14,000 would have been allocated as fixed overhead.

    Actual minus Allocated is $1,000 which is written off directly to COGS as a production-volume variance.
