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) $ 992,000 $ 1,612,000
Cost of goods sold (@ $38 per unit) 608,000 988,000
Gross margin 384,000 624,000
Selling and administrative expenses* 294,000 324,000
Net operating income $ \90,000\ $ 300,000

* $3 per unit variable; $246,000 fixed each year.

The company’s $38 unit product cost is computed as follows:

Direct materials $ 8
Direct labor 9
Variable manufacturing overhead 2
Fixed manufacturing overhead ($399,000 ÷ 21,000 units) 19
Absorption costing unit product cost $ 38

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 operations are:

Year 1 Year 2
Units produced 21,000 21,000
Units sold 16,000 26,000

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.
