Leander Office Products Inc. produces and sells small storage and organizational products for office use. During the first month of operations, the products sold well. Andrea Leander, the owner of the company, was surprised to see a loss for the month on her income statement. This statement was prepared by a local bookkeeping service recommended to her by her bank manager. The statement follows: LEANDER OFFICE PRODUCTS INC. Income Statement Sales (53,400 units) Variable expenses: Variable cost of goods sold* Variable selling and administrative expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses: Fixed manufacturing overhead Fixed selling and administrative expenses Operating loss $336,420 $145,248 65,682 210,930 125,490 119,306 19,224 138,530 $(13,040) *Consists of direct materials, direct labour, and variable manufacturing overhead. Leander is discouraged over the loss shown for the month, particularly since she had planned to use the statement to encourage investors to purchase shares in the new company. A friend who is an accountant insists that the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing. He argues that if absorption costing had been used, the company would probably have reported a profit for the month. Selected cost data relating to the product and to the first month of operations follow: Units produced Units sold Variable costs per unit: 63,800 53,400 Direct materials Direct labour $ 1.44 $ 1.05 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 0.23 Variable selling and administrative expenses $ 1.23 Required: 1.
