What is the carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending finished goods inventory under absorption costing? Under variable costing? 21 For the month referred to above, will net operating income under variable costing will be same, greater than or less than net operating income under absorption costing

Explanation / Answer

Beginning inventory

Add Units Produced

4500

Less Units Sold

3500

Ending Inventory

Under Absorption Costing

Under Variable Costing

$8000

$8000

Fixed Manufacturing Overhead

$1777.78

Carrying Value

$9777.78

$8000

Note: The fixed Manufacturing Overhead costs are not included in the unit cost under variable costing which is considered as a period cost.

Fixed Manufacturing overhead                                      = $8000

Units Produced                                                             = 4500

Fixed Manufacturing overhead Per Unit            $8000/4500      =1.777778

Total Cost

$70500

From the above calculations we can assume that the net income under Variable costing will be less than that of absorption costing as in variable costing the fixed Manufacturing overheads are considered as Period costs.

Relation Between Absorption Costing and Variable Costing

Production equals Sales

Net Operating Income Will be same

Production Exceed Sales

Net operating Income Under Absorption costing will be greater than that of variable costing

Sales Exceeds Production

Net operating Income Under Absorption costing will be lesser than that of variable costing
