Were unit sales constant from year to year? Explain b. What was the relation between unit sales and unit production levels in each year? For each year, indicate wheter inventories grew or shrank. 2. Consider the following data for Scenario B: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Variable costing net operating income. $41,694 ($29,306) ($100,306) Absorption net operating income $41,694 $42,165 $43,637 a. Were unit sales constant from year to year? Explain b. What was the relation between unit sales and unit production levels in each year? For each year, indicate wheter inventories grew or shrank. 3. Given the patterns of net operating income in scenarios A and B above, which costing method, variable costing or absorption costing, do you believe provides a better reflection of economic reality?
