Variable Costing, Absorption Costing
During its first year of operations, Snobegon, Inc. (located in Lake Snobegon, Minnesota), produced 40,900 plastic snow scoops. Snow
scoops are oversized shovel-type scoops that are used to push snow away. Unit sales were 38,900 scoops. Fixed overhead was applied at
$0.75 per unit produced. Fixed overhead was underapplied by $2,900. This fixed overhead variance was closed to Cost of Goods Sold.
There was no variable overhead variance. The results of the year's operations are as follows (on an absorption-costing basis):
Sales (38,900 units @ $20)
$778,000
Less: Cost of goods sold
547,260
Gross margin

Use the following information for Problems 3-60 and 3-61: Farnsworth Company has gathered data on its overhead activities and associated costs for the past 10 months. Tracy Heppler, a member of the controllers department, has convinced management that overhead costs can be better estimated and controlled if the fixed and variable components of each overhead activity are known. One such activity is receiving raw materials (unloading incoming goods, counting goods, and inspecting goods), which she believes is driven by the number of receiving orders. Ten months of data have been gathered for the receiving activity and are as follows:arrow_forwardCost of Goods Sold As an accountant for Lee Company, your supervisor gave you the following calculations of the gross profit for the first quarter:  Alternative Sales ($50 per unit) Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit  A $500,000 $200,000 $300,000 B 500,000 228,000 272,000 C 500,000 213,333 286,667  The three alternative cost flow assumptions are FIFO, average, and LIFO (the alternatives are not necessarily presented in this sequence).
