Problem 6-23 Absorption and Variable Costing; Production Constant, Sales Fluctuate [LO6-1, LO6-2, LO6-3] Tami Tyler opened Tami's Creations, Inc., a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tyler's personal finances.
