$225,000 ÷ 25,000 = $9 per unit.
23,500 x $9 = $211,500
$225,000 - $211,500 = $13,500 U
($10 + $9) x 22,000 + $13,500 = $431,500
($32 x 22,000) - $431,500 = $272,500
Budgeted FMOH ÷ units produced = FMOH per unit
Actual units produced x FMOH = applied FMOH
Budgeted FMOH - applied FMOH = variance
(V Manufacturing costs per unit + F manufacturing cost per unit) x units sold + variance= adj COGS
(Selling price per unit x units sold) - adj COGS = GM
