1. While the Variable costing statement is helpful for decision making, it is not permitted for GAAP or IFRS. Recast the December 31, 2017 statements (shown above) in a way that reflects absorption costing, consistent with GAAP. Assume that there were no changes in raw materials, work-in-process or finished-goods inventories during the year (beginning and ending finished goods inventory was zero).

2. NOW ASSUME that the company actually produced 2,000 units during the year, but only sold the 1,800 indicated above? (Assume beginning finished goods are 0 units, and ending finished goods are 200 units). Prepare income statements using both variable costing AND using full absorption costing.
