Question

    What is the value of per unit of inventory if the firm uses absorption costing?

    Direct material cost per unit = Rs.3

    Direct Labour cost per unit = Rs.4

    Variable overheads are absorbed as 50% of direct labour cost

    Fixed production overheads = Rs.120,000

    Budgeted production = 20,000 units

    A 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Absorption costing valuation of inventory = fixed cost + variable cost Here, variable cost = direct material + direct labour + variable O/H = 3 + 4 + (50% of 4) = 9 Fixed cost per unit = (Fixed production overheads/ Budgeted production) = (120000/ 20000) = 6   Therefore, value of inventory as per absorption costing = 9 + 6 = Rs.15 per unit
