Lager has just purchased the Cleveland Brewery. The brewery is two years old and uses absorption costing. It will "sell" its product to TolmanLager at $ 48 per barrel. Peter Bryant, Tolman Lager's controller obtains the following information about Cleveland Brewery's capacity and budgeted fixed manufacturing costs for 2017:

1. Compute the budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead rate per barrel for each of the denominator-level capacity concepts. Explain why they are different.2. In 2017, the ClevelandBrewery reported these production results:

Beginning inventory in barrels, 1-1-2017	0
Production in barrels	2,650,000
Ending inventory in barrels, 12-31-2017	200,000
Actual variable manufacturing costs	$79,765,000
Actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs	$27,500,000

There are no variable cost variances. Fixed manufacturing overhead cost variances are written off to cost of goods sold in the period in which they occur. Compute the Cleveland Brewery's operating income when the denominator-level capacity is (a) theoretical capacity, (b) practical capacity, and (c) normal capacity utilization.
