It annually produces and sells about 100 tons of its granular. In its nine-year history, the company has never reported a net loss. However, because of this year's unusually mild winter, projected demand for its product is only 65 tons. Based on its predicted production and sales of 65 tons, the company projects the following income statement (under absorption costing). Sales (65 tons at $20,500 per ton) Cost of goods sold (65 tons at $15,500 per ton) Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses Net loss $1,332,500 1.007,500 325,000 345,150 $ (20,150) Its product cost information follows and consists mainly of fixed cost because of its automated production process requiring expensive equipment Variable direct labor and material costs per ton Fixed cost per ton (5740,000 - 65 tons) Total product cost per ton $ 4,115 11,385 $15,500 Selling and administrative expenses consist of variable selling and administrative expenses of $310 per ton and fixed selling and administrative expenses of $325,000 per year.

The operations manager mentions that since the company has large storage capacity, it can report a net income by keeping its production at the usual 100-ton level even though it expects to sell only 65 tons. The president is puzzled by the suggestion that the company can report income by producing more without increasing sales. 1.
