The difference in the ending inventory relates to a difference in the handling of fixed manufacturing overhead costs.

Under variable costing, these costs have been expensed in full as period costs.

Under absorption costing, these costs have been added to units of a product at the rate of $10 per unit ($100,000/10,000 units produced = $10 per unit).

Thus, under absorption costing a portion of the $100,000 fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the month has been added to the inventory account rather than expensed on the income statement:

Added to the ending inventory:

(2,000 units x $10 per unit)                                                $ 20,000

Expensed as part of the cost of goods sold:

(8,000 units $10 per unit)                                                   $ 80,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the month:    $100,000

Because $20,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead cost has been deferred in inventory under absorption costing, the net operating income reported under that costing method is $20,000 higher than the net operating income under variable costing(refer to the first image)

And for question refer to the second image.

Hence, The difference in the ending inventory relates to a difference in the handling of fixed manufacturing overhead costs.

What does reconciling an account mean?
Gala2k [10]

Reconciliation is the accounting process of comparing two data sets to ensure that the numbers are correct and consistent.

Reconciling bank statements simply means comparing your internal financial records with those provided by your bank. This process is critical to being able to identify anomalous transactions caused by fraud or accounting errors.

All businesses are required to reconcile their banks at least once a month. It is convenient to reconcile the books immediately after the end of the month, as at the end of the month your bank will send you a monthly statement that you can use as the basis for your reconciliation. Balance sheet reconciliation is the process of closing the balances of all individual companies.

Orion Iron Corp. tracks the number of units purchased and sold throughout each year but applies its inventory costing method at
balandron [24]

Answer:

Transactions Units Unit Cost

a. Inventory, Beginning 300 $ 14

b. Purchase, April 11 950 12

c. Purchase, June 1 850 15

d. Sale, May 1 (sold for $42 per unit) 300

e. Sale, July 3 (sold for $42 per unit) 630

f. Operating expenses (excluding income tax expense), $18,200

1 and 2) When you use a periodic inventory method, cost of goods available for sale and ending inventory are the same. They differ only when you use a perpetual inventory.

ending inventory = 1,170 units

Ending inventory under FIFO:

$28,350 - $11,760 = $16,590

Ending inventory under LIFO:

$28,350 - $13,710 = $14,640

Ending inventory under weighted average:

$28,350 - $12,555 = $15,795

3) total units sold = 930 units

COGS under FIFO:

(300 x $14) + (630 x $12) = $11,760

COGS under LIFO:

(850 x $15) + (80 x $12) = $13,710

COGS under weighted average:

($28,350 / 2,100) x 930 = $12,555

4) Income statement under FIFO

Sales revenue                  $39,060

COGS                                <u>($11,760)</u>

Gross profit                       $27,300

Operating expenses       <u>($18,200)</u>

Operating income              $9,100

Income statement under LIFO

Sales revenue                  $39,060

COGS                                <u>($13,710)</u>

Gross profit                       $25,350

Operating expenses       <u>($18,200)</u>

Operating income               $7,150

Income statement under weighted average

Sales revenue                  $39,060

COGS                               <u>($12,555)</u>

Gross profit                       $26,505

Operating expenses       <u>($18,200)</u>

Operating income              $8,305

6) FIFO minimizes operating income, therefore, minimizes income tax expense.
