Ending Inventory (Ending balance of account called Inventory)

*0 number of vehicles (units) at the beginning balance of Work-in-Process Inventory.
$0 is the Beginning Inventory and/or dollar value for the 0 number of vehicles at the beginning balance of Work-in-Process Inventory.
*210,000 units of budgeted (planned) production of vehicles
*150,000 units of sold vehicles
*$22 is the Variable (Manufacturing cost per unit produced).

= WIP inventory + Production - Sales

= 0 units + 210,000 units of budgeted production of vehicles – 150,000 units of sold vehicles

= 210,000 units of budgeted production of vehicles – 150,000 units of sold vehicles

= 50,000 vehicles

= 50,000 vehicles × $23 Variable (Manufacturing cost per unit produced)

= $1,500,000

Does the 210,000 units of a product in ( 210,000 units of budgeted (planned) production of a product) the number of units of a product that represent the number of units of a product associated with the beginning inventory balance or the ending inventory balance of the Finished goods inventory?  Does the $1,500,000 representing the beginning dollar balance or the ending dollar balance of Finished goods inventory?

I tried matching all the numbers together, and the closest answer I got was 1,480,000, which is similar to option (c):

for the operating income question just use the formula

Operating income = Units sold * (Selling price - Variable manufacturing cost per unit - Fixed manufacturing cost per unit) - Selling and administrative costs

Tulsa's 2017 operating income using absorption costing is

(a) $1,300,000
(b) $1,120,000
(c) $1,470,000
(d) $1,650,000
(e) none of these.

Show supporting calculations.

Operating income = Units sold * (Selling price - Variable manufacturing cost per unit - Fixed manufacturing cost per unit) - Selling and administrative costs

OI = 150000 * (44 - 22 - 8) - (630000+350000) = 1,112,000

If you still have a chance, change your answer to 1,112,000.

Report this for #1.

Tulsa's 2017 operating income using variable costing is

(a) $1,750,000
(b) $1,300,000
(c) $1,120,000
(d) $1,470,000
(e) none of these.

Show supporting calculations.

What you're supposed to do here is take 44 - 22 - 8 = $14

$14/unit * 150,000 units = $2,100,000 (contribution margin)

Costs: 630,000 + 350,000 = $980,000

The costs are deducted from the contribution margin:

$2100000 - $880,000 = 1,120,000

Answer is (c)

Alrighty I've been playing around with my numbers and I think I've finally figured it out! I think duddy's answer is right for #2, but not for #1. That's the formula you use to derive the variable cost, not absorption cost. Please review my answers for #1 and #2 Tulsa's 2017 operating income using absorption costing is (a) $1,300,000 (b) $1,120,000 (c) $1,470,000 (d) $1,650,000 (e) none of these.

Does $1,500,000 that I get after I subtract 150,000 from 210,000 units represent a portion called Finished goods, or completed and transferred to finished goods that is located to the right of the account called Work in Process Inventory and the left side portion of Finished goods inventory called Transferred from Work in process inventory.

Subtracting 210,000 - 150,000 makes 60,000 units. Where are you getting $1,500,000?
