The business treats the cost of idle capacity as a period


The Company X's operating profit report and summary of manufacturing activity presented below. Note that its annual production capacity is 150,000 units, but the business manufactured only 120,000 units during the year. Therefore, it had 20 percent idle capacity (30,000 units not produced ÷ 150,000 units production capacity = 20 percent idle capacity). However, the cost of idle capacity isn't treated as a separate period cost; all the company's fixed manufacturing overhead costs are included in calculating its product cost. Suppose that the business treats the cost of idle capacity as a period cost. Prepare a revised operating profit report and summary of manufacturing activity for the business.
