Accounting

During Heaton Companys first two years of operations, it reported absorption costing net operating income as follows:

Year 1 Year 2
Sales (@ $61 per unit) $ 1,098,000 $ 1,708,000
Cost of goods sold (@ $36 per unit) 648,000 1,008,000
Gross margin 450,000 700,000
Selling and administrative expenses* 299,000 329,000
Net operating income $ 151,000 $ 371,000

* $3 per unit variable; $245,000 fixed each year.

The companys $36 unit product cost is computed as follows:

Direct materials $ 9
Direct labor 11
Variable manufacturing overhead 3
Fixed manufacturing overhead ($299,000 23,000 units) 13
Absorption costing unit product cost $ 36

Production and cost data for the first two years of operations are:

Year 1 Year 2
Units produced 23,000 23,000
Units sold 18,000 28,000

Required:

1. Using variable costing, what is the unit product cost for both years?

2. What is the variable costing net operating income in Year 1 and in Year 2?

3. Reconcile the absorption costing and the variable costing net operating income figures for each year.
