George Massat started a new business in 1999 to produce portable, climate-controlled shelters. The shelters have many applications in special events and sporting activities. George’s accountant prepared the variable costing income statement shown after part (d3) after the first year to help him in making decisions. During the year, the following variable production costs per unit were recorded: direct material, $800; direct labor, $300; and overhead, $200.
Mr. Massat was upset about the net loss because he had wanted to borrow funds to expand capacity. His friend who teaches accounting at a local university suggested that the use of absorption costing could change the picture.
