Question

Bellue Inc. manufactures a single product. Variable costing net operating income was $111,700 last year and its inventory decreased by 3,000 units. Fixed manufacturing overhead cost was $2 per unit for both units in beginning and in ending inventory. What was the absorption costing net operating income last year

Answer 1

Answer:

$105, 700

Explanation:

The cause of the difference between the Variable Costing Net Operating Income and Absorption Costing Net Operating Income is because of fixed costs absorbed in inventory using the absorption costing method.

We need to reconcile the Variable Costing Net Operating Income to Absorption Costing Net Operating Income.

Reconciling the Variable Costing Net Operating Income to Absorption Costing Net Operating Income

Variable costing net operating income                    $111,700

Fixed costs in Inventory decrease (3,000 × $2)      ($6,000)

Absorption Costing Net Operating Income            $105,700

Conclusion :

The absorption costing net operating income last year was $105, 700
