The company's fixed manufacturing overhead totaled $141,000, and the firm paid a 10% commission based on gross sales dollars to its sales force.Required: A. How many units did Carrington plan to produce during the year?B. How much fixed manufacturing overhead did

the company apply to each unit produced?C. Compute Carrington's cost of goods sold.D. How much variable cost did the company attach to each unit manufactured?

What will be an ideal response?


A. Sales (35,000 units) + ending finished-goods inventory (12,000 units) = production (47,000 units). Note: There is no beginning finished-goods inventory.
B. Because planned and actual production figures are the same, Carrington applied $3 to each unit ($141,000 ÷ 47,000 units).

C.

Sales revenue$770,000
Gross margin  210,000
Cost of goods sold$560,000

D. Carrington attached $13 to each unit. This figure can be derived by analyzing cost of goods sold:

Cost of Goods Sold$560,000
Fixed cost in cost of goods sold (35,000 units × $3)  105,000
Variable cost of goods sold$455,000
$455,000 ÷ 35,000 units = $13?
The same $13 figure can be obtained by studying the ending finished-goods inventory:

Ending finished-goods inventory$192,000
Fixed cost (12,000 units × $3)  36,000
Variable cost $156,000

$156,000 ÷ 12,000 units = $13
