Please don't forget to check your worksheet by changing the units sold in the Data to 6,000 for Year 2 before submitting the response to my question. The cost of goods sold under absorption costing for Year 2 should now be $240,000. If it isn’t, check cell C41. The formula in this cell should be =IF(C26<C27,C26*C36+(C27-C26)*B36,C27*C36).] If your worksheet is operating properly, the net operating income under both absorption costing and variable costing should be $(34,000) for Year 2. That is, the loss in Year 2 is $34,000 under both methods. If you do not get these answers, find the errors in your worksheet and correct them. Assume that the units produced in year 2 were sold first. If someone can help I will give a thumbs up. Thanks for the help! :)
