    The correct option is D,$41,200

    Explanation:

    The fact that inventory reduced by 1,400 units implies that the fixed costs of 1,400 units added to closing inventory under absorption costing method has now been released into income statement as an additional cost in the current year, as result profit under absorption costing method reduce by the increased fixed costs:

    net operating income under variable costing $52,400

    less:additional fixed costs (1,400*$8) ($11,200)

    Profit under absorption costing method $41,200

    The correct option is D,$41,200
