Variable and Absorption Costing During its first year, Walnut, Inc., showed a $14 per-unit profit under absorption costing but would have reported a total profit $16,000 less under variable costing. If production exceeded sales by 1,000 units and an average contribution margin of 62.5% was maintained, what is the apparent: Fixed cost per unit? Sales price per unit? Variable cost per unit? Unit sales volume if total profit under absorption costing was $168,000?

    Answer and Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    Fixed cost per unit is

    = Higher Profit under Absorption costing : units exceeded than sales

    = $16,000 : 1,000 units

    = $16 per unit

    Sales price per unit

    = Contribution Margin Per Unit : Contribution Margin Ratio

    = ($16 + $14) : (62.50%)

    = $48

    Variable Cost Per Unit is

    = Sales Price Per Unit - Contribution Margin Per Unit

    = $48 - $30

    = $18 per unit

    Unit sales volume is

    = Total Profit under Absorption costing : profit per unit

    = $168,000 : $14 per unit

    = 12000 units

    We simply applied the above formulas
