- A machine shop manufactures a stainless steel part that is used in an assembled product. Materials charged to a particular jobamounted to 600. At the point of final inspection, it was discoveredthat the material used was inferior to the specifications required bythe engineering department; therefore, all units had to be scrapped. Record the entries required for scrap under each of the following conditions: a. The revenue received for scrap is to be treated as a reductionin manufacturing cost but cannot be identified with a specificjob. The value of stainless steel scrap is stable and estimatedto be 125 for this job. The scrap is sold two months later forcash at the estimated value of 125. b. Revenue received for scrap is to be treated as a reduction inmanufacturing cost but cannot be identified with a specificjob. A firm price is not determinable for the scrap until it issold. It is sold eventually for 75 cash. c. The production job is a special job, and the 85 received onaccount for the scrap is to be treated as a reduction inmanufacturing cost. (A firm price is not determinable for thescrap until it is sold.) d. Only 40 cash was received for the scrap when it was sold inthe following fiscal period.

As the specifications for the lenses are determined by the customer and vary considerably, the company uses a job-order costing system. Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours, utilizing the absorption- or full-costing method. San Mateos predetermined overhead rates for 20x1 and 20x2 were based on the following estimates. Jim Cimino, San Mateos controller, would like to use variable (direct) costing for internal reporting purposes as he believes statements prepared using variable costing are more appropriate for making product decisions. In order to explain the benefits of variable costing to the other members of San Mateos management team, Cimino plans to convert the companys income statement from absorption costing to variable costing. He has gathered the following information for this purpose, along with a copy of San Mateos 20x1 and 20x2 comparative income statement. San Mateo Optics, Inc. Comparative Income Statement For the Years 20x1 and 20x2 San Mateos actual manufacturing data for the two years are as follows: The companys actual inventory balances were as follows: For both years, all administrative expenses were fixed, while a portion of the selling expenses resulting from an 8 percent commission on net sales was variable. San Mateo reports any over-or underapplied overhead as an adjustment to the cost of goods sold. Required: 1. For the year ended December 31, 20x2, prepare the revised income statement for San Mateo Optics, Inc., utilizing the variable-costing method. Be sure to include the contribution margin on the revised income statement. 2. Describe two advantages of using variable costing rather than absorption costing.
