61-120 days past due         $22,000              5%             $1,100

121-180 days past due        $12,000               10%            $1,200

Krepps Corporation produces a single product. Last year, Krepps manufactured 33,100 units and sold 27,800 units. Production cost
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is $95,400 lower than absorption costing.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Units manufactured = 33,100

Sold units = 27,800

So, Units in ending inventory can be calculated as follows:

Units in ending inventory = Units manufactured - Sold units

= 33,100 - 27,800 = 5,300 units

Now, Fixed manufacturing OH = $595,800

So, we can calculate the fixed manufacturing OH per unit by using following formula:

Fixed manufacturing OH per unit = $595,800 ÷ 33,100 = $18

So, Difference in net income for the year can be calculated as follows:

Net income difference = Fixed manufacturing OH per unit × Units in ending inventory

= $18 × 5,300 units = $95,400

Hence, The net income in variable costing is $95,400 which is lower than in absorption costing.
