Scott product inc._Variable and absorption costing

During the 1st month of operation the device was selling on the market very well. Ms. Scott was looking forward to a healthy profit. Yet she was angry to see a loss for the month on the income statement. The statement was prepare by her account service

Scott product inc. – sale 40,000 unit 200,000

Variable exp

Variable cost of goods sold 80,000

Variable selling exp 30,000 110,000

Contribution margin 90,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead 75,000

Fixed selling exp 20,000 95,000

Net operating loss 5000

Ms. Scott is angry because of the loss for the month. She planned to use her statement to show investor to purchase stock in her company. A cpa friend of Ms. Scott said she should use the absorption cost rather than the variable cost. The cpa inform Ms. Scott if she use the absorption cost rather than variable then she would have made a profit for the month. Based on the data of the company operation Scott product inc. unit produced 60,000, units sold =40,000 variable cost per unit direct material=1.00; direct labor= 80 cents; variable overhead = 20 cents; variable selling exp= 75 cents
