Prepare a variable costing contribution format income


During Heaton Company's first two years of operations, the company reported absorption costing net operating income as follows:


Year 1 Year 2
  Sales (@ $63 per unit) $1,071,000     $1,701,000    
  Cost of goods sold (@ $36 per unit)

612,000    

972,000    

  Gross margin 459,000     729,000    
  Selling and administrative expenses* 304,000     334,000    
  Net operating income (loss)

$155,000    

$395,000    


*$3 per unit variable; $253,000 fixed each year.
The company's $36 unit product cost is computed as follows


  Direct materials $9
  Direct labor 9
  Variable manufacturing overhead 1
  Fixed manufacturing overhead ($374,000 ÷ 22,000 units) 17
  Absorption costing unit product cost

$36


Forty percent of fixed manufacturing overhead consists of wages and salaries; the remainder consists of depreciation charges on production equipment and buildings.

Production and cost data for the two years are:

Year 1 Year 2
Units produced 22,000 22,000
  Units sold 17,000 27,000
