b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
2. Assume that the company uses variable costing:
a. Compute the unit product cost.
b. Prepare an income statement for the year.
3. The company's controller believes that the company should have set last year's selling price at $51 instead of $50 per unit. She estimates the company could have sold 15,000 units at a price of $51 per unit, thereby increasing the company's gross margin by $2,000 and its net operating income by $4,000. Assuming the controller's estimates are accurate, do you think the price increase would have been a good idea?
