    Hi Sophie
    This is similar to the one you just asked about, only this time they want the profit for month 2 as well as month 3.

    For the month 2 profit, the closing inventory is based on month 2 costs and the opening inventory is based on month 1 costs

    For example, in month 1

    Material = £35 per unit
    Labour = £25 per unit
    Variable overhead = £160,000/8,000 units = £20 per unit
    Fixed overhead = £304,000/8,000 units = £38 per unit
    Total cost = 35+25+20+38 = £118 per unit

    Inventory at end of month 1/beginning of month 2 = £118 x (8,000 - 6,500) = £177,000

    Sorry, I should have said that my last example was absorption cost

    Marginal cost is 35+25+20 = £80 per unit
