When a company uses absorption costing, there is the potential for income manipulation based on choice of the denominator volume for setting the fixed overhead allocation rate. In which case is this manipulation-potential manifested?
Multiple Choice
-
When sales volume > production volume, and the production-volume variance is prorated to inventories and cost of goods sold at the end of the period.
-
When sales volume < production volume, and the production-volume variance is prorated to inventories and cost of goods sold at the end of the period.
-
When the production-volume variance is written off entirely as an adjustment to cost of goods sold at the end of the period.
-
When budgeted output is used to develop the standard overhead cost-allocation rate.
-
When production volume for the period equals sales volume.
Homework Answers
| When the production-volume variance is written off entirely as an adjustment to cost of goods sold at the end of the period. |
| Production-volume variance should be prorated to inventories and cost of goods sold at the end of the period based on standard cost balances in these accounts. |
| Entirely writing off production-volume variance as an adjustment to cost of goods sold may understate/overstated income for the period. |
| Option C is correct |

The Hoffman Company uses an absorption-costing system based on standard costs. Total variable manufacturing cost, including direct material cost, is $3 per unit; the standard fixed manufacturing overhead costs are $480,000. Fixed manufacturing overhead is allocated at $8 per machine-hour ($480,000 / 60,000 machine-hours of denominator level). Selling price is $5 per unit. Variable operating (nonmanufacturing) cost, which is driven by units sold, is ginning inventory in 2014 is 40,000 units; ending inventory is 45,000 units. Sales in 2014 are...
