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 50,400 units; the increased production was designed to provide o buffer of protection agoinst unexpected spurts in demand. By the start of Year 3, management had excess inventory and realized growth in demand was unlikely; thus, it cut back production throughout the year, as shown below: Additional information about the company follows: \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline \multicolumn{7}{|c|}{ Starfax, fncorporated } \\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|c|}{ Variable Costing Income Statement } \\ \hline & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{ Year 1} & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{ Year 2} & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{ Year.3 } \\ \hline Sales: & $ & 806,400 & 5 & 645,120 & 5 & 806,400 \\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|l|}{ Variable expenses: } \\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|l|}{ Variable cost of goods sold } \\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|c|}{ Variable selling and administrative expenses } \\ \hline & & & & & & \\ \hline & & & & & & \\ \hline Total variable expenses & & 0 & & 0 & & 0 \\ \hline Contribution margin & & 806,400 & & 645,120 & & 806,400 \\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|l|}{ Fixed expenses: } \\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|c|}{ Fixed manufacturing overhead } \\ \hline \multicolumn{7}{|c|}{ Fixed selling and administrative expenses } \\ \hline & & & & & & \\ \hline \\ \hline Total fixed expenses & & 0 & & 0 & & 0 \\ \hline Net operating income (loss) & $ & 806,400 & $ & 645,120 & $ & 806,400 \\ \hline \end{tabular} 10 points : ebook Hint Print Peterences Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below. Compute the unit product cost in each year under absorption costing.

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. Show 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. 5 b.
