Lehighton Chalk Company manufactures sidewalk chalk, which it sells online by the box at $22 per unit. Lehighton uses an actual costing system, which means that the actual costs of direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead are entered into work-in-process inventory. The actual application rate for manufacturing overhead is computed each year; actual manufacturing overhead is divided by actual production (in units) to compute the application rate. Information for Lehightons first two years of operation is as follows:

Can someone fit the answers exactly into the boxes as shown below instead of creating them on a separate spreadsheet? I keep on getting different answers depending on how it is formatted. IE., Instead of showing variable and traditional costing separately, show them reconciled? And on questions 2 through 5 have the answers written cumulatively instead of by year.

1. Reconcile Lehightons operating income reported under absorption and variable costing, during each year, by comparing the following two amounts on each income statement:

• Cost of goods sold
• Fixed cost (expensed as a period expense)
  • I got the title of the lines started but I'm not 100% confident that it's right. Specifically, I'm not sure if the second to last row is Less: Operating Income or Add: Operating Income

2. What was Lehightons total operating income across both years under absorption costing and under variable costing?

3. What was the total sales revenue across both years under absorption costing and under variable costing?

4. What was the total of all costs expensed on the operating income statements across both years under absorption costing and under variable costing?

5. Subtract the total costs expensed across both years [requirement (4)] from the total sales revenue across both years [requirement (3)]: (a) under absorption costing and (b) under variable costing.
