EXERCISE 6–7 Variable and Absorption Costing Unit Product Costs and Income Statements [LO1, LO2]
Maxwell Company manufactures and sells a single product. The following costs were incurred
during the company’s first year of operations:
Â
Â
Â

Â
Â
During the year, the company produced 20,000 units and sold 16,000 units. The selling price of the company’s product is $50 per unit.
Â
Required:
1.      Assume that the company uses absorption costing:
a.      Compute the unit product cost.
b.      Prepare an income statement for the year.
2.      Assume that the company uses variable costing:
a.      Compute the unit product cost.
b.      Prepare an income statement for the year.
3.      The company’s controller believes that the company should have set last year’s selling price at $51 instead of $50 per unit. She estimates the company could have sold 15,000 units at a price of $51 per unit, thereby increasing the company’s gross margin by $2,000 and its net operating income by $4,000. Assuming the controller’s estimates are accurate, do you think the price increase would have been a good idea?
