Units sold ........................................................... 60,000 50,000 65,000
Break-even point in units ..................................... 60,000 60,000 60,000
Units above (below) break-even point .................. 0 (10,000) 5,000
Variable costing net operating income (loss) ......... $0 $(200,000) $ 100,000
Absorption costing net operating income (loss) ..... $0 $ 120,000 $(220,000)
The absorption costing net operating incomes in years 2 and 3 are counterintuitive. In year 2, the
number of units sold is below the break-even point; however, absorption costing reports a net
operating income greater than zero. In year 3, the number of units sold is above the break-even
point; however, absorption costing reports a net operating income less than zero.
Problem 7-23
1. a. Absorption costing unit product cost is:
Direct materials ................................. $ 3.50
Direct labor........................................ 12.00
Variable manufacturing overhead ........ 1.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead
($300,000 ÷ 30,000 units) ............... 10.00
Absorption costing unit product cost ... $26.50
