Which of the following is NOT true regarding an income statement organized according to thecontribution margin approach? Question 6 options: The contribution margin income statement is organized by cost behavior. Operating income will always be the same as operating income in a traditional income statement regardless of changes in inventory levels. All fixed costs, including fixed MOH, are expensed below the contribution margin line. The contribution margin is equal to sales revenue minus variable expenses.
In comparing the absorption and variable cost methods, each of the following statements is true except: SG&A fixed expenses are not included in inventory in either method. Only the absorption method may be used for external financial reporting. Variable costing charges fixed overhead costs to the period they are incurred. When inventory increases over the period, variable net income will exceed absorption net income.
In one modification of the Pigskin problem, the maxi-mum storage constraint and the holding cost are based on the average inventory (not ending inventory) for agiven month, where the average inventory is defined as the sum of beginning inventory and ending inven-tory, divided by 2, and beginning inventory is before production or demand. Modify the Pigskin model withthis new assumption, and use Solver to find the optimal solution. How does this change the optimal productionschedule? How does it change the optimal total cost?
