EIectronPIus manufactures and sells a unique electronic part. Operating results for the rst three years of activity were as follows (absorption costing basis): Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 sales $1,020,000 $816,000 $1,050,000 Cost of goods sold: Beginning inventory 0 0 284,000 Add: cost of goods manufactured 804,000 836,000 765,000 Goods available for sale 804,000 836,000 1,049,000 Less: ending inventory 0 284,000 186,000 Cost of goods sold 804,000 552,000 863,000 Gross margin 216,000 264,000 187,000 Selling and administrative expenses 169,000 123,000 195,000 Operating income (loss) 5 47,000 $141,000 $ (3,000) Sales dropped by 20% during year 2 due to the entry of several foreign competitors into the market. EIectronPIus had expected sales to remain constant at 45,000 units for the year; production was set at 55,000 units in order to build a buffer against unexpected spurts in demand. By the start of year 3, management could see that spurts in demand were unlikely and that the inventory was excessive. To work off the excessive inventories, EIectronPIus cut back production during year 3, as shown below: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Production in units 45,000 55,000 35,000 sales in units 45,000 35,000 45,000 Additional information about the company follows: a. The company's plant is highly automated. Variable manufacturing costs (direct materials, direct labour, and variable manufacturing overhead) total only $4 per unit, and xed manufacturing overhead costs total $668,000 per year. b. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are applied to units of product on the basis of each year's planned production. (That is, a new fixed overhead rate is computed each year). c. Variable selling and administrative expenses are $2 per unit sold. Fixed selling and administrative expenses total $69,000 per year. d. The company uses a FIFO inventory flow assumption. The management of EIectronPIus can't understand why profits tripled during year 2 when sales dropped by 20%, and why a loss was incurred during year 3 when sales recovered to previous levels. 1.

Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing operating income figures for each year. (Losses and deductible amounts should be indicated by a minus sign.
