The Southern Corporation

The carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory of finished goods under variable costing would be:

$6,600 less than under absorption costing.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable costs per unit:

Production $ 35

Selling and administrative $ 14

Fixed costs per year:

Production $ 175,560

Selling and administrative $ 140,450

Production units last year = 7,980 units

Sales units last year = 7,680 units

Ending inventory = 300 (7,980 - 7,680) units

Value of Ending inventory:

1. Variable Costing:

Production $ 35 * 300 = $10,500

2. Absorption Costing:

Variable Production $ 35 * 7,980 = $279,300

Fixed Production overhead             $ 175,560

Total production costs =                  $454,860

Units produced = 7,980

Unit cost = $57

Ending inventory = $17,100 ($57 * 300)

Difference = $6,600 ($17,100 - $10,500)
