Answer:
$105,260 lower than under absorption costing
Explanation:
The computation of the net operating income for the year is shown below;
Change in units in inventory is
= Units produced - Units sold
= 30,140 units - 24,600 units
= 5,540 units
Now the fixed overhead per unit is
= Fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ Units produced
= $572,660 ÷ 30,140
= $19 per unit
Now the total amount would be
= 5,540 units × $19 per unit
= $105,260
Since the units produced is more than the units sold that means the net income under absorption costing is more than the net income under variable costing
hence, $105,260 lower than under absorption costing
