Mr. Rosen is the manager of a division of Jokkmok Industries. He is one of numerous managers being considered for the position of CEO, as the current CEO is retiring in a year.
All divisions use standard absorption costing. The partition has the capacity to produce 50,000 units a quarter and quarterly fixed overhead amounts to $600,000. Mr. Rosen has been looking at the report for the first three months of the year and is not happy with the results.

The sales forecasts for each of the last two quarters of the year remain at 25,000 units. Actual fixed costs incurred remain constant in variable and total costs remain constant on per unit basis.
