    Income reported under absorption costing = $440,000

    Explanation:

    The income reported under absorption costing can be determined by adjusting the income under variable costing for difference in profit.

    The steps are outlined below:

    Step 1

    Calculate the Overhead absorption rate

    OAR = Budgeted Fixed overhead / Budgeted number of units

    = $270,000 / 27,000 units

    = $10

    Step 2

    Calculate the change in inventory

    8500 units (given)

    Step 3

    Calculate the difference in profit =

    Difference in profit = OAR * change in inventory

    =8500*$10

    = $85000

    Step 4

    Calculate Income under absorption costing

    = Income under variable costing + Difference in profit

    =$85,000 + $355,000

    =$440,000

    Income reported under absorption costing = $440,000
