Determine (A) whether variable costing operating income is less than or greater than absorption costing operating income, and (B) the difference in variable costing and absorption costing operating income.
Preparation of Income Statement: Manufacturing Firm Laworld Inc. manufactures small camping tents. Last year, 200,000 tents were made and sold for 60 each. Each tent includes the following costs: The only selling expenses were a commission of 2 per unit sold and advertising totaling 100,000. Administrative expenses, all fixed, equaled 300,000. There were no beginning or ending finished goods inventories. There were no beginning or ending work-in-process inventories. Required: 1. Calculate the product cost for one tent. Calculate the total product cost for last year. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Prepare an income statement for external users. Did you need to prepare a supporting statement of cost of goods manufactured? Explain. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose 200,000 tents were produced (and 200,000 sold) but that the company had a beginning finished goods inventory of 10,000 tents produced in the prior year at 40 per unit. The company follows a first-in, first-out policy for its inventory (meaning that the units produced first are sold first for purposes of cost flow). What effect does this have on the income statement? Show the new statement.
