Fixed expenses:
Fixed manufacturing cost 120,000 120,000
9 Fixed selling and admin. 80,000 80,000
Total expenses $152,000 $152,000

3A. The reason for the differences in operating income in (1) and (2) for May is due to how the fixed cost of manufacturing is absorbed in the ending inventory and transferred to June.
3B. The reason for the differences in operating income in (1) and (2) for June is the accounting with all variable costs included in the beginning inventory.
4. Big Sky did not operate more profitably. The difference is the accounting with full costs and only variable costs.
