Assume that the company uses absorption costing.(a) Determine the unit product cost.(b) Prepare an income statement for May.

Product unit cost= $43/unit

Explanation:

Product unit cost=?

  a. Direct material per unit = 14

 b. Direct labor per unit    =7

 c.Variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit =3

Fixed manufacturing overhead= 684000

d.Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = fixed manufacturing overhead / units produced.

                = 684000/ 36000 = 19/unit

we know that: Product unit cost per unit = a+b+c+d

                                                             =14+7+3+19

                                                             =$43 per unit.

Sales  (31000*75)                                                                            =2325000

less: Cost of goods sold (31000*43)                                              =(1333000)

             Gross margin                                                                        992000

Less: selling and administrative expense

Fixed selling and administrative expense=563000(a)

Variable selling and administrative expense

($4 * units sold)=$4 *31000                         = 124000(b)

                                    Total (a+b)                                                  =(687000)
