1. Determine operating income for 20X7, assuming the firm uses the variablecosting approach to product costing. (Do not prepare a statement.)

2. Assume that there is no January 1, 20X7, inventory; no variances are allocated to inventory; and the firm uses a “full absorption” approach to product costing.
