Jazmin · Answer 1

absorption costing net operating income = $106400

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead in inventory = Fixed manufacturing overhead in ending inventory - Fixed manufacturing overhead in beginning inventory

Since the fixed overhead cost was $4 for both unit in beginning and in ending inventory

$4 per unit * (-2,300) = - $9200

Variable costing net operating income = $115600

subtract fixed manufacturing overhead costs released from inventory

(9200) from Variable costing net operating income

Absorption costing net operating income = Variable costing net operating income - fixed manufacturing overhead costs released from inventory

Absorption costing net operating income = 115600 - 9200 = $106400
