During Heaton Company’s first two years of operations, it reported absorption costing net operating income as follows:

Year 1 Year 2
Sales (@ $62 per unit) $ 1,116,000 $ 1,736,000
Cost of goods sold (@ $42 per unit) 756,000 1,176,000
Gross margin 360,000 560,000
Selling and administrative expenses* 301,000 331,000
Net operating income $ \59,000\ $ 229,000

* $3 per unit variable; $247,000 fixed each year.

The company’s $42 unit product cost is computed as follows:

Direct materials $ 10
Direct labor 13
Variable manufacturing overhead 5
Fixed manufacturing overhead ($322,000 ÷ 23,000 units) 14
Absorption costing unit product cost $ 42

Forty percent of fixed manufacturing overhead consists of wages and salaries; the remainder consists of depreciation charges on production equipment and buildings.

Production and cost data for the first two years of operatons are:

Year 1 Year 2
Units produced 23,000 23,000
Units sold 18,000 28,000

Required:

1. Using variable costing, what is the unit product cost for both years?

2. What is the variable costing net operating income in Year 1 and in Year 2?

3. Reconcile the absorption costing and the variable costing net operating income figures for each year.
