Check my Lean Production (LO6-1, LO6-2, LO6-3) Starfax, Inc. manufactures a small part that is widely used in various electronic products such as home computers, Results for the first three years of operations were as follows (absorption costing basis) Sales Cost of goods sold Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses Net operating income (loss) Year 1 $ 835,200 6e5,520 229,680 198,360 $ 31,320 Year 2 5. 668,168 417,6ee 250, 56e 187,920 $ 62,640 Year $ 835,200 647,280 187,920 172.480 $ 110,4401 In the latter part of Year 2. a competitor went out of business and in the process dumped a large number of units on the market. As a result, Starfax's sales dropped by 20% during Year 2 even though production increased during the year Management had expected sales to remain constant at 52,200 units, the increased production was designed to provide the company with a buffer of protection against unexpected spurts in demand, By the start of Year 3 management could see that it had excess inventory and that spurts in demand were unlikely to reduce the excessive inventorles, Starlax cut back production during Year 3. as shown below. Year 1 52,200 52,200 Production in units Sales in units Year 2 62,640 41.760 Year 41,760 52,200 1 Additional information about the company follows: a. The company's plant is highly automated. Variable manufacturing expenses (direct materials, direct labor and variable manufacturing overhead) total only $2.00 per unit, and fixed manufacturing overhead expenses total $501120 per year b. A new fixed manufacturing overhead rate is computed each year based on that year's actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs divided by the actual number of units produced c. Variable selling and administrative expenses were $1 per unit sold in each year. Fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $141760 per year d. The company uses a FIFO inventory flow assumption (FIFO means first in first-out. In other words, it assumes that the oldest units in Inventory are sold first) Starfax's management can't understand why profits doubled during Year 2 when sales dropped by 20% and why a loss was incurred during Year 3 when sales recovered to previous levels Required: 1. Prepare a variable costing income statement for each year. 2. Refer to the absorption costing Income statements above a. Compute the unit product cost in each year under absorption costing. Stow how much of this cost is variable and how much is fixed. b. Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating income figures for each year 5b.
