ViCom Produces a Wide Range of Consumer Electronics $\quad$ $\quad$

ViCom produces a wide range of consumer electronics. ViCom's Newark, New York, plant produces two types of cordless phones: 2.4 GHz and 6.0 GHz. The following table summarizes operations at the Newark ViCom plant for Year 1 and Year 2. $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$ $\quad$$\text { Year } 1 \quad\quad\quad\quad\quad \text { Year } 2$

At the start of Year 1, there were no beginning inventories of either 2.4-GHz or 6.0-GHz cordless phones. ViCom uses FIFO to value inventories.
Required:
a. Prepare variable costing income statements for Year 1 and Year 2.
b. Prepare absorption costing income statements for Year 1 and Year 2. At the end of the year, fixed manufacturing overhead is absorbed to the two phone models using direct material as the allocation base.
c. Prepare a table that reconciles any differences in variable costing and absorption costing net incomes for Year 1 and Year 2.
