Question 1

Explain three methods under absorption costing that managers can use to improve operating income.

Question 2

Kaiser Company just hired its fourth production manager in three years. All three previous managers had quit because they could not get the company above the break-even point, even though sales had increased somewhat each year. The company was operating at about 60 % of plant capacity. The flatware industry was growing, so increased sales were not out of the question. 

I. R. Thinking took the job as manager of the production division with a very attractive salary package. After interviewing for the position, he proposed a salary and bonus package that would give him a very small salary but a large bonus if he took the operating income (using absorption costing) above the breakeven point during his very first year. 

Required: 
What do you think Mr. Thinking had in mind for increasing the company's operating income?
