3. Work for Question 1
Sales- Variable Expenses= Contribution Margin
Contribution Margin * units sold= total contribution margin under variable costing
(99)- (12+42+6+6)= 33
(33)(6000)= $198000

9. Work for Question 4
Dollar Sales for a segment to break even= Segment Traceable Fixed Expenses/
Segment CM Ratio
CM Ratio= Contribution Margin/Sales
CM Ratio= 116560/248000= .47
Dollar sales for a segment to break even= 75000/.47= $159574
10. Question 5
Routsong Corporation had the following
sales and production for the past 4 years:
Selling price per unit, variable cost per
unit, and total fixed cost are the same
each year. There were no beginning
inventories Year 1. Which of the following
statements is NOT correct?
Because of the changes in production
levels, under variable costing the unit
product cost will change each year.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
Production

Kosco Corporation produces a single
product. The company’s absorption
costing income statement for March
follows:
During March, the company’s variable
production costs were $8 per unit and its
fixed manufacturing overhead totaled

12. Work to Question 6
Break even in units= Fixed Expenses/Unit CM
Unit CM= Selling price per unit- variable expenses per unit
Selling price per unit= 48000/2400= 20
Variable Expenses per unit= 9600/2400= 4
4+8= 12
Unit CM= 20-12= 8
Fixed Expenses= 5000+7200= 12200
Break Even in units= 12200/8= 1525 units
13. Question 7

14. Work to Question 7
Dollar sales for company to Break Even=
(Traceable Fixed Costs+ Common Fixed Costs)/Overall CM Ratio
Overall CM Ratio= (Sales- Variable Expenses)/Sales
Overall CM Ratio= [(300000+261000)-(129000+83520)]/(300000+261000)
(561000-212520)/561000
.62
Break Even= [(102000+1090000)+(42000+36540)]/.62
(211000+78540)/.62
$466116
15. Question 8
Cutterski Corporation manufactures a
propeller. Shown below is Cutterski’s
structure:
In its first year of operations, Cutterski
produced 60000 propellers but only sold
54000. What would Cutterski report as its
cost of goods sold under absorption
costing?
$6885000
Variable cost per
propeller
Total fixed cost
for the year
Manufacturing
cost
144 810000
Selling and
administrative
expense
20 243000
16. Work to Question 8
CGS under Absorption costing=
Total Fixed Manufacturing Costs/units produced= fixed manufacturing cost per unit
Fixed Manufacturing cost per unit+ Variable manufacturing cost per unit= unit product
cost
Unit product cost* number of units sold= CGS under absorption costing
810000/60000= 13.5
13.5+114=127.5
127.5*5400= $6885000
17. Question 9
A company that produces a single product has a net operating income of $75000
using variable costing and a net operating income of $95000 using absorption
costing. Total fixed manufacturing overhead was $50000 and production was
10000 units both this year and last year. Last year was the first year of operations.
Between the beginning and the end of the year, the inventory level:
Increased by 4000 units
18. Work to Question 9
50000/10000=5
(95000-75000)/5= 4000 units
Increased caused by absorption costing being greater than variable costing
