Problem 6-25 (Algo) Prepare and Interpret Income Statements; Changes in Both Sales and Production: Lean Production [LO6-1, LO6-2, LO6-3] Starfax, Incorporated, manufactures a small part widely used in various electronic products. Results for the first three years of operations were as follows (absorption costing basis): Sales cost of goods sold Gross margin selling and administrative expenses Het operating income (loss) Year 1 Year 2 $ 809,600 586,960 222,640 152,280 $58,360 $ 647,680 Year 3 $ 809,600 404,800 142,880 182, 108 627,410 182,160 1/2,010 $ $ 60, 720 (\10,120\) In the latter part of Year 2 a competitor went out of business and dumped a large number of units on the market. As a result, Starfax's sales dropped by 20% during Year 2 even though production increased during the year. Management had expected sales to remain constant at 50,600 units; the Increased production was designed to provide a buffer of protection against unexpected spurts in demand. By the start of Year 3, management had excess inventory and realized growth in demand was unlikely; thus, it cut back production throughout the year, as shown below. Production in units Sales in units Year 1 50,600 50,000 Year 2 60,720 40,480 Year 3 40,400 50,000 Additional information about the company follows: a. The company's plant is highly automated. Variable manufacturing expenses (direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead) total only $2.00 per unit, and fixed manufacturing overhead expenses total $485,760 per year b. A new fixed manufacturing overhead rate is computed each year based on that year's actual fixed manufacturing overhead costs divided by the actual number of units produced. c. Variable selling and acministrative expenses were $1 per unit sold in each year Fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $140480 per year. d. The company uses a RFO inventory flow assumption (FIFO means first-in first-out. In other words, it assumes the oldest units in Inventory are sold first) Starfax's management can't understand why profits doubled during Year 2 when sales dropped by 20% and why a loss was incurred during Year 3 when sales recovered to previous levels. Required: 1. Prepare a variable costing income statement for each year. 2. Refer to the absorption costing income statements above. a. Compute the unit product cost in each year under absorption costing. Show how much of this cost is variable and how much is fixed. b. Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating income figures for each year 5b. If Lean Production had been used during Year 2 and Year 3, what would the company's net operating income (or loss) have been in each year under absorption costing?
