An equally common situation (that this worksheet cannot handle) is when beginning inventory is present and sales volume exceeds production volume. Revise the worksheet Data Section to include: Beginning inventory in units 15,000 Beginning inventory cost (absorption) $266,875 Beginning inventory cost (variable) $210,000, Also, change actual production to 70,000. Revise the Answer Section to accommodate this new data. Assume that Anderjak uses the weighted-average costing method for inventory. Preview the printout to make sure that the worksheet will print neatly on one page, and then print the worksheet. Check figure: Absorption income, $670,000.
