JYD Corporation uses an absorption costing system for internal reporting purposes. At present, however, it is considering to use the variable costing system.

                                                                   Budgeted                              Actual

                                                                     (Units)                                 (Units)

Finished goods inventory beginning               280                             280

Production                                               1,120                        1,040

Sales                                                       1,120                       1,000

• The budgeted costs were computed based on the budgeted production and sales of 1,120 units, the company's normal capacity level. The Corporation uses a predetermined factory overhead rate for applying manufacturing overhead costs to its product. The denominator level used in developing the predetermined rate is the firm's normal capacity. Any over or under applied factory overhead cost is closed to cost of goods sold at the end of the year.
• There is no work in process inventories at either the beginning or end of the year. The actual selling price was the same as the amount planned, P130 per unit.
• The previous year's planned per unit manufacturing costs were the same as the current planned unit manufacturing cost. The beginning inventory of finished goods for absorption costing purposes was valued at such per- unit manufacturing cost.

Question 1. What were the values of the company's actual ending finished goods inventory under the absorption and variable costing methods?

Question 2. What were the Corporation's total fixed costs expensed this year on both absorption and variable costing methods?

Question 3. What was the Corporation's actual manufacturing contribution margin for the year calculated on the variable costing basis?
