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
