Part 1
It is the end of
2020.
Goldberg AllFixed
Corporation began operations in January
2019.
The company is so named because it has no variable costs. All its costs are fixed; they do not vary with output.
Goldberg AllFixed
Corp. is located on the bank of a river and has its own hydroelectric plant to supply power, light, and heat. The company manufactures a synthetic fertilizer from air and river water and sells its product at a price that is not expected to change. It has a small staff of employees, all paid fixed annual salaries. The output of the plant can be increased or decreased by pressing a few buttons on a keyboard. The following budgeted and actual data are for the operations of
Goldberg AllFixed.

Data table
The company uses budgeted production as the denominator level and writes off any production-volume variance to cost of goods sold.
| 2019 | 2020 | |
| Sales | 25,000 tons | 25,000 tons |
| Production | 50,000 tons | 0 tons |
| Selling price | $100 per ton | $100 per ton |
| Costs (all fixed): | ||
| Manufacturing | $2,000,000 | $2,000,000 |
| Operating (nonmanufacturing) | $95,000 | $95,000 |
Management adopted the policy, effective January 1,
2020,
of producing only as much product as needed to fill sales orders. During
2020,
sales were the same as for
2019
and were filled entirely from inventory at the start of
2020.
