Hello!

I am seeking help for the attached practice homework for preparing a variable costing contribution format income statement for each year as well as reconciliation of variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes (losses).

I have attached the document. I tried to copy and paste it, but the format kept getting distorted.

Any and all guidance is greatly appreciated.

During Heaton Company's first two years of operations, the company reported absorption costing net operating income as follows: Cost of goods sold (@ $40 per unit) Year 1 $ 1,280,00 0 800,000 Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses* Net operating income 480,000 308,000 $ 172,000 Sales (@ $64 per unit) Year 2 $ 1,920,00 0 1,200,00 0 720,000 338,000 $ 382,000 * $3 per unit variable; $248,000 fixed each year. The company's $40 unit product cost is computed as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead ($450,000 25,000 units) Absorption costing unit product cost $ 9 12 1 18 $ 40 Forty percent of fixed manufacturing overhead consists of wages and salaries; the remainder consists of depreciation charges on production equipment and buildings.
