55. Roberts Company produces a single product. This year, the company's net operating income under absorption costing was $2,000 lower than under variable costing. The company sold 8,000 units during the year, and its variable costs were $8 per unit, of which $2 was variable selling and administrative expense.

A. 7,500 unitsB. 7,000 unitsC. 9,000 unitsD. 8,500 units
Variable production cost per unit = $8 per unit - $2 per unit = $6 per unitAbsorption unit product cost = Variable production cost per unit + Fixed production cost per unit$10 per unit = $6 per unit + Fixed manufacturing overhead cost per unitFixed manufacturing overhead cost per unit = $10 per unit - $6 per unit = $4 per unit
Since absorption costing net operating income was $2,000 lower than its variable costing net operating income, $2,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost was released from inventory under absorption costing.
Fixed manufacturing overhead cost released from inventory under absorption costing = Fixed manufacturing overhead cost per unit Decrease in units in inventory$2,000 = $4 per unit Decrease in units in inventoryDecrease in units in inventory = $2,000 $4 per unit = 500 units

The fixed overhead application rate was $6 per unit. There were no beginning inventories. If 22,000 units were produced last year, then sales for last year were: A. 15,000 unitsB. 21,000 unitsC. 23,000 unitsD. 28,000 units
Since absorption costing net operating income was greater than its variable costing net operating income by $6,000, it must have deferred $6,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead costs in inventory under absorption costing.
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs deferred in inventory under absorption costing = Fixed manufacturing overhead cost per unit Increase in units in inventory$6,000 = $6 per unit Increase in units in inventoryIncrease in units in inventory = $6,000 $6 per unit = 1,000 units
Therefore, since there were no beginning inventories and 1,000 units of the 22,000 units that were produced were in ending inventories, sales must have been 21,000 units.

Since absorption costing net operating income was greater than its variable costing net operating income by $5,500, it must have deferred $5,500 of fixed manufacturing overhead costs in inventory under absorption costing.
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs deferred in inventory under absorption costing = Fixed manufacturing overhead cost per unit Increase in units in inventory$5,500 = $5 per unit Increase in units in inventoryIncrease in units in inventory = $5,500 $5 per unit = 1,100 units
Therefore, since there were no beginning inventories and 1,100 units of the 21,500 units that were produced were in ending inventories, sales must have been 20,400 units.

61. Stephen Company produces a single product. Last year, the company had 20,000 units in its ending inventory. During the year, Stephen's variable production costs were $12 per unit. The fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $8 per unit in the beginning inventory. The company's net operating income for the year was $9,600 higher under variable costing than it was under absorption costing. The company uses a last-in-first-out (LIFO) inventory flow assumption. Given these facts, the number of units of product in the beginning inventory last year must have been: A. 21,200B. 19,200C. 18,800D. 19,520
Since the variable costing operating net income was $9,600 higher under variable costing than under absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead costs must have been released from inventory under absorption costing. In other words, the ending inventory must have been lower than the beginning inventory. Under the LIFO inventory flow assumption, all of the units in ending inventory were also in beginning inventory. Therefore, the reduction in inventory must have been 1,200 units (= $9,600 $8 per unit).
Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory - Reduction in units in inventory20,000 units = Units in beginning inventory - 1,200 unitsUnits in beginning inventory = 20,000 units + 1,200 units = 21,200 units

62. Hansen Company produces a single product. During the last year, Hansen had net operating income under absorption costing that was $5,500 lower than its income under variable costing. The company sold 9,000 units during the year, and its variable costs were $10 per unit, of which $6 was variable selling expense. If fixed production cost is $5 per unit under absorption costing every year, then how many units did the company produce during the year? A. 7,625 unitsB. 8,450 unitsC. 10,100 unitsD. 7,900 units
Since net operating income under absorption costing was $5,500 lower than under variable costing, inventories must have decreased. A reduction in inventories results in releasing fixed manufacturing overhead from inventories.
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs released from inventory under absorption costing = Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit Reduction in the units in inventory$5,500 = $5 per unit Reduction in the units in inventoryReduction in the units in inventory = $5,500 $5 per unit = 1,100 units
Units in beginning inventory + Units produced = Units sold + Units in ending inventoryUnits in beginning inventory - Units in ending inventory = Units sold - Units producedReduction in the units in inventory = Units sold - Units produced1,100 units = 9,000 units - Units producedUnits produced = 9,000 units - 1,100 units = 7,900 units

114. How would Eagle's variable costing net operating income have been affected in its first year if only 9,000 tables were sold instead of 10,000? A. net operating income would have been $37,100 lowerB. net operating income would have been $45,800 lowerC. net operating income would have been $56,000 lowerD. net operating income would have been $62,000 lower
Unit CM = Selling price per unit - Variable expenses per unit= $120 per unit - ($58 per unit + $6 per unit) = $120 per unit - $64 per unit = $56 per unit
Change in contribution margin = Unit CM ratio Change in unit sales= $56 per unit 1,000 units = $56,000
Since fixed expenses would not be affected by this change in unit sales, the change in contribution margin would drop directly to the bottom line, decreasing net operating income by $56,000.
