Gusteau’s manufactures high-quality boxes of flavored seltzer which it sells for $14 per box.  Below is some information related to Gusteau’s capacity and budgeted fixed manufacturing costs for 2019:                 Budgeted Fixed        Days of       Hours of   Denominator-Level              Manufacturing     Production     Production     Boxes Capacity Concept        Overhead per Period     per Period        per Day   per Hour           Theoretical Capacity $1,750,000 362 22 300 Practical Capacity $1,750,000 310 16 250 Normal Capacity $1,750,000 310 16 175 Master Budget Capacity $1,750,000 310 16 200   Production during 2019 was 990,000 boxes of flavored seltzer, with 15,000 remaining in ending inventory at 12/31/19. Assume beginning inventory is zero. Variable manufacturing costs were $1.78 per unit (there are no variable cost variances).  Actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs were $1,750,000, the same as budgeted. Fixed manufacturing overhead cost variances are written off to cost of goods sold in the period in which they occur. (Note: Round interim calculations to 2 decimal places.)    What is the gross margin under practical capacity? 

Options
A.$10,187,250
B.$10,191,440
C.$10,181,334
D.$10,194,980

Step-by-Step Analysis
Question restatement and options: - The firm sells each box for $14. - Budgeted fixed manufacturing costs for the period are $1,750,000. - Variable manufacturing cost per unit is $1.78 (no variances). - Production during 2019: 990,000 boxes produced, ending inventory of 15,000 boxes, beginning inventory zero. - The task asks for the gross margin under the Practical capacity scenario. - Answer choices: $10,187,250; $10,191,440; $10,181,334; $10,194,980. Key concepts to apply: - Gross margin = Sales minus Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). - COGS under a capacity-based costing approach uses unit costs that include both variable costs per unit and a portion of fixed manufacturing overhead allocated to units produced, based on the denominator level chosen (here, Practical capacity). - Determine Sales from units sold. Since beginning inv is 0 and ending inv is 15,000, the cost of goods manufactured (COGM) relates to 990,000 units produced; the number sold equals 990,000 minus changes in inventory. With ending inventory 15,000 and beginning inventory 0, units sold = 990,000 (prod......Login to view full explanation
