Answer:
Operating profit using absorption costing will be higher by $3,600 than operating income if using variable costing.
Explanation:
<em>The difference between profit under variable costing and under absorption costing is simply the value of the change in inventory.
</em>
<em>Usually, a decrease in inventory would cause profit under absorption costing to be lower . This is so because cost of goods sold would become higher leading to a lower profit
. And vice versa</em>
<em>Difference in profit = POAR × change inventory
</em>
Predetermined Overhead absorption rate(POAR)
= Estimated overhead/ estimated production unit
= $24,000/2,000 units = $12 per unit
Change in inventory = 1500 - 1200= 300 units
Difference in profit = 300 × $12 per unit = $3,600
Operating profit using absorption costing will be higher by $3,600 than operating income if using variable costing.
<span>Goal = accumulate $700 in savings
</span><span>Saving = $30 a month
</span><span>
To solve:
Take the goal savings amount of $700 and divide the amount that is going into the savings monthly, $30 by it.
</span><span>$700/$30 = 23.33 months
</span><span>If sticking to a full month goal, it would take 24 months for the savings to be at $700.
