Fixed selling and distribution overheads Rs. 5,000

Required:

  • Income statement under absorption costing

Ans: Rs. 50,000

Solution

Given:

            Normal capacity (NC)           = 20,000 units

            Total manufacturing fixed cost (TMFC) = Rs. 50,000

            Manufacturing fixed per unit   = =  = Rs. 2.50

            Closing stock                       = Opening stock + Production – Sales = 3,000 + 18,000 – 20,000 = 1,000 units

  • Net income as per variable costing is Rs. 8,00,000. Beginning and ending inventory is 20,000 units and 25,000 units respectively. Manufacturing cost of production @ Rs. 10 per unit under absorption costing and variable manufacturing overhead was Rs. 4 per unit

Required: Calculate net income under absorption costing

Ans: Rs. 8,30,000

Solution

Given:

            Manufacturing fixed cost per unit   = Mfg. cost of production per unit – Var. mfg. overhead per unit

                                                            = Rs. 10 – Rs. 4 = Rs. 6

                                                 Calculation of Reconcile Profit under Absorption Costing

ParticularsRs.
        Net profit as per variable costing …………………………………………………………………………..
Add: Fixed mfg. cost of closing stock (25,000 ´ 6)…………………………………………………………….. Less: Fixed mfg. cost of opening stock (20,000 ´ 6)……………………………………………………………
8,00,000 1,50,000 (1,20,000)
        Net profit as per absorption costing ……………………………………………………………………8,30,000

OR

        Net profit as per variable costing      = Profit as per absorption costing ± Change in stock in unit × Mfg. FCPU

                                                           = 800,000 + (25,000 – 20,000) × 6

                                                           = Rs. 530,000
