Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Calculate the product cost per unit using 1) absorption costing and 2) variable costing. (Enter all amounts to the nearest cent. If a cost is not included Total Manufacturing Absorption Costing Variable Costing Month Cost for 100,000 units Per unit product cost Per unit product cost Direct Materials $ 1,800,000 Direct Labor 375,000 Variable MOH 250,000 Fixed MOH 300,000 $ 2,725,000 Total Cost Requirement 2. If Inventory increases by 4,000 units over the preceding period, by how much would operating income differ between the two costing methods? Explain. Begin by selecting the formula used to determine the change in operating income. Then enter the amounts and calculate the difference in operating income. (Use parenti X Difference in operating income X When inventory levels rise, Inventory levels increase, some of the using However, under example here, s more is expensed will result in a higher operating income. The difference arises because when remains "trapped" on the balance sheet as part of the cost of inventory all fixed MOH is expensed as a period cost. In our leading to a higher Total Manufacturing Cost for 100,000 units $ 1,800,000 Absorption Costing Per unit product cost Variable Costing Per unit product cost Month Direct Materials Direct Labor Variable MOH 375,000 250,000 300,000 $ 2,725,000 Fixed MOH Total Cost
