Absorption- and Variable-Costing Income Statements

San Mateo Optics, Inc., specializes in manufacturing lenses for large telescopes and cameras used in space exploration. As the specifications for the lenses are determined by the customer and vary considerably, the company uses a job-order costing system.

Manufacturing overhead is applied to jobs on the basis of direct labor hours, utilizing the absorption- or full-costing method. San Mateo’s predetermined overhead rates for 20x1 and 20x2 were based on the following estimates.

	20x1	20x2
Direct labor hours	32,500	44,000
Direct labor cost	$325,000	$462,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead	$130,000	$176,000
Variable manufacturing overhead	$162,500	$198,000

Jim Cimino, San Mateo’s controller, would like to use variable (direct) costing for internal reporting purposes as he believes statements prepared using variable costing are more appropriate for making product decisions. In order to explain the benefits of variable costing to the other members of San Mateo’s management team, Cimino plans to convert the company’s income statement from absorption costing to variable costing. He has gathered the following information for this purpose, along with a copy of San Mateo’s 20x1 and 20x2 comparative income statement.
