1. Prepare income statement for Quarryman Corporation inJanuary, February and March 2019 under throughput costing.
2. Contrast the results of throughput costing with those ofvariable costing. If you calculate different profit figures,reconcile the difference. In other words, tell me where thedifference is, and quantify it. Again, do not be concerned withminor rounding issues, as they are not material.
3. Provide at least one reason why companies might preferthroughput costing over absorption costing or variable costing.
