Accountancy, asked by akankshathakur96, 4 months ago

A company makes and sells a single product. At the beginning of period 1, there is no opening stock of the product, for which the variable production cost is Rs.4 and the sale price is Rs.6 per unit. Fixed costs are Rs.2,000 per period of which Rs.1,500 are fixed production costs. The following details are available: The Sales & Production for Period 1 were 1,200 units & 1,500 units and that for period 2 were 1,800 units & 1,500 units respectively. What would be the profit in each period using - (a) Absorption costing. (Assume normal output is 1,500 units per period); and (b) Marginal costing?

a) Absorption Costing Rs. 500 & Rs 1500. Marginal Costing Rs. 600 & Rs. 1400
b) Absorption Costing Rs. 800 & Rs 1200. Marginal Costing Rs. 700 & Rs. 1300
c) Absorption Costing Rs. 700 & Rs 1300. Marginal Costing Rs. 400 & Rs. 1600
d) Absorption Costing Rs. 800 & Rs 1200. Marginal Costing Rs. 600 & Rs. 1400

Explanation:

To calculate the profit in each period using absorption costing and marginal costing, we need to consider the variable costs, fixed costs, sales, and production quantities for each period.

(a) Absorption Costing:

In absorption costing, both variable and fixed production costs are allocated to the product. Here's how we calculate the profit for each period:

Period 1:

Sales revenue = Sales * Sale price = 1,200 units * Rs. 6 = Rs. 7,200

Total variable production cost = Production * Variable cost per unit = 1,500 units * Rs. 4 = Rs. 6,000

Total fixed production cost = Fixed production cost per period = Rs. 1,500

Total fixed costs = Fixed production cost per period + Remaining fixed costs = Rs. 1,500 + Rs. 500 (2,000 - 1,500) = Rs. 2,000

Profit = Sales revenue - (Total variable production cost + Total fixed costs)

= Rs. 7,200 - (Rs. 6,000 + Rs. 2,000)

= Rs. -800 (Loss)

Period 2:

Sales revenue = Sales * Sale price = 1,800 units * Rs. 6 = Rs. 10,800

Total variable production cost = Production * Variable cost per unit = 1,500 units * Rs. 4 = Rs. 6,000

Total fixed production cost = Fixed production cost per period = Rs. 1,500

Total fixed costs = Fixed production cost per period + Remaining fixed costs = Rs. 1,500 + Rs. 500 (2,000 - 1,500) = Rs. 2,000

Profit = Sales revenue - (Total variable production cost + Total fixed costs)

= Rs. 10,800 - (Rs. 6,000 + Rs. 2,000)

= Rs. 2,800

Therefore, the profit in Period 1 using absorption costing is a loss of Rs. 800, and the profit in Period 2 is Rs. 2,800.

(b) Marginal Costing:

In marginal costing, only the variable costs are allocated to the product. Fixed costs are treated as period costs and are not assigned to the product. Here's how we calculate the profit for each period:

Period 1:

Sales revenue = Sales * Sale price = 1,200 units * Rs. 6 = Rs. 7,200

Total variable production cost = Production * Variable cost per unit = 1,500 units * Rs. 4 = Rs. 6,000

Profit = Sales revenue - Total variable production cost

= Rs. 7,200 - Rs. 6,000

= Rs. 1,200

Period 2:

Sales revenue = Sales * Sale price = 1,800 units * Rs. 6 = Rs. 10,800

Total variable production cost = Production * Variable cost per unit = 1,500 units * Rs. 4 = Rs. 6,000

Profit = Sales revenue - Total variable production cost

= Rs. 10,800 - Rs. 6,000

= Rs. 4,800

Therefore, the profit in Period 1 using marginal costing is Rs. 1,200, and the profit in Period 2 is Rs. 4,800.
