In 2016, the first year of operations, Jackson produced 5,300 tons of plastic and sold 3,975 tons. In 2017, the production and sales results were exactly reversed. In each year, the selling price per ton was $2,400, variable manufacturing costs were 16% of the sales price of units produced, variable selling expenses were 10% of the selling price of units sold, fixed manufacturing costs were $3,551,000, and fixed administrative expenses were $490,000.

a) Prepare income statements for each year using variable costing.

b) Prepare income statements for each year using absorption costing.

Production cost per year 2016=384+$3,551,000/5300=384+570=1,054

Production cost per year 2017=384+$3,551,000/3975=384+893.33=1277.33
