    This is obviously a very complicated, involved homework assignment and if you read the forum basics, we do not assist with homework. We are all volunteers here and try to do our best to help people with problems, this does not include reading through the above to give you an answer to this problem.

    The one false statement in that is "we do not assist with homework." "Assisting" is exactly what we do. What we don't do is just do it for you. (Or at least, I do not define assisting and doing as the same thing.)

    However, everything else she said is true. It absolutely is a long involved problem and would take a lot of work for someone to go through, which I am not willing to do without seeing kind of attempt on your part at doing it. It would also be difficult to just try to "give hints" on something that involved. You've got a bunch of variances. (And I don't even do overhead variances.) And then an income statement on top of that.

    You need to narrow this down somewhere. There should be examples in your book. At least look at them and make some kind of attempt to do it, which would at least give us a starting point.
