Variable Costing, Absorption Costing
During its first year of operations, Snobegon, Inc. (located in Lake Snobegon, Minnesota), produced 40,900 plastic snow scoops. Snow
scoops are oversized shovel-type scoops that are used to push snow away. Unit sales were 38,900 scoops. Fixed overhead was applied at
$0.75 per unit produced. Fixed overhead was underapplied by $2,900. This fixed overhead variance was closed to Cost of Goods Sold.
There was no variable overhead variance. The results of the year's operations are as follows (on an absorption-costing basis):
Sales (38,900 units @ $20)
$778,000
Less: Cost of goods sold
547,260
Gross margin
$230,740
Less: Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed)
184,500
Operating income
$ 46,240
Required:
1. Calculate the cost of the firm's ending inventory under absorption costing. Round unit cost to five decimal places. Round your final
answer to the nearest dollar.

During a deflationary period, which bar (A, B, or C) represents FIFO costing, which represents LIFO costing, and which represents weighted average? Explain your reasoning. On January 4 following year-end, Rio Enterprises received a shipment of 60 units of product costing 580 each. These units had been ordered by Del in December and had been shipped to him on December 27. They were shipped FOB shipping point. Revise the FIFOLIFO3 worksheet to include this shipment. Preview the printout to make sure that the worksheet will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Save the completed file as FIFOLIFOT. Using the FIFOLIFO3 file, prepare a 3-D bar (stacked) chart showing the cost of goods sold and ending inventory under each of the four inventory cost flow assumptions. No Chart Data Table is needed. Use the values in the Calculations Section of the worksheet for your chart. Enter your name somewhere on the chart. Save the file again as FIFOLIFO3.
