(c) The variable costing and the absorption costing net income can be
reconciled as follows:
2019 2020
Variable costing net income $1,950,000 $2,700,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead
expensed with variable costing $2,800,000 $2,800,000
Less: Fixed manufacturing overhead
expensed with absorption costing (2,450,000)(1) (3,150,000)(2)
Difference 350,000 (350,000)
Absorption costing net income $2,300,000 $2,350,000
*PROBLEM 6-7A (Continued)
3, 500 units sold
$2,800, 000 X
(1)
In 2019, with absorption costing $2,450,000
4, 000 units produced
of the fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed as part of cost of goods sold, and
500 units in inventory
$350,000 $2,800, 000 X is included in the ending
4, 000 units produced
inventory.
(2)
In 2020, with absorption costing $3,150,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead is
expensed as part of cost of goods sold. This includes the fixed manufacturing
overhead for 2020 of $2,800,000 plus $350,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead from
2016 that was included in the beginning inventory for 2020.
(d) Income parallels sales under variable costing as seen in the
increase in net income in 2020 when 500 additional units were sold.
In contrast, under absorption costing, income parallels production
as seen in the higher net income in 2019 when production
exceeded sales by 500 tons.
