Explanation:

Assume the company uses variable costing:

Solution:

Under variable costing, only variable costs are included to calculate the unit cost.

We will consider the following costs:

Under variable costing, an income statement considers, variable cost as product cost and all fixed costs are considered as period cost.

Key matrix:

Contribution in year 1: $760,000

Contribution in year 2: $950,000

Net income in year 1: $460,000

Net income in year 2: $650,000

Assume the company uses absorption costing:

Unit product cost under absorption costing:

Year 1: $42

Year 2: $43

Year 1: Profit: $500,000

Year 2: Profit: $590,000

Reconcile the difference between variable costing and absorption costing net operating income in Year 1.
