That's all the information given in the problem.
The following income statements are provided for Li Company's last two years of operation:
| 2011 | 2012 | |
| Number of units produced and sold | 4,100 | 3,700 |
| Sales revenue | 69,700 | 62,900 |
| Cost of goods sold | (55,760) | (49,960) |
| Gross margin | 13,940 | 12,940 |
| General, selling and administrative expenses | (12,620) | (11,740) |
| Net income | $1,320 | $1,200 |
Assuming that cost behavior did not change over the two year period, what is the annual amount of the company's fixed manufacturing overhead?
I know the answer is $8,200. But what I can't figure out is why. This is what I did:
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit = (55,760-49,960)/(4,100-3,700)
Variable manufacturing overhead cost per unit = $14.50
The annual amount of the company's fixed manufacturing overhead = 55,760-(14.50*4,100)
The annual amount of the company's fixed manufacturing overhead = 55,760-59,450
The annual amount of the company's fixed manufacturing overhead = -3,690
What am I doing wrong?
