Part I: Quarryman Corporation manufactures and sells 50-inch electronic products that can do just about anything any electronic device can do. They use a standard cost system. Actual data relating to January, February, and March 2019 are as follows: January February March 0 1,550 1,450 100 1,450 1.450 100 1,500 1.490 $1,000 $1,000 $1,000 Unit data: Beginning Inventory Production Sales Variable Costs: Manufacturing Cost per unit produced Marketing cost per unit sold Fixed Costs: Manufacturing Costs Marketing Costs $700 $700 $700 $515,000 $140,000 $515,000 $140,000 $515,000 $140,000 The selling price per unit is $3,500. The budgeted level of production used to calculate the budgeted fixed manufacturing costs was 1,550 units in January, 1,450 units in February, and 1,500 units in March. They were so accurate at predicting their production volumes there are no production volume variances to worry about. Also, there are no price, efficiency or spending variances. 1. Prepare income statements for Quarryman Corporation in January, February, and March 2019 using: (a) variable costing and (b) absorption costing. Prepare your income statement to the nearest dollar. To keep it simple you can assume that the cost of product sold per unit in February and March is the same as cost of units produced during that month. In other words, you do not need to assume that 100 of the units sold in February were sold at January's cost per unit, and the same goes for March. This is the same as assuming the firm is using the LIFO inventory assumption. 2. Calculate and explain the difference in operating income for January, February, and March under variable costing and absorption costing. In other words, provide reconciliation between the absorption costing and the variable costing operating income calculations. If the operating profit calculations are different, quantify the difference and explain where it is. Inevitably there may be some very minor rounding issues when you do reconciliation.
