Use the following data to prepare a reconciliation converting variable costing income to absorption costing income like Exhibit 19.12 on Page 746. After showing the reconciliation write a sentence or two about why the reconciling item(s) are in one type of income, but not the other:
Variable Costing income $600,000
Absorption Costing Income $750,000
Fixed Overhead Cost recognized from beginning inventory (15,000 units x $10)
Fixed Cost Deferred in ending inventory (15,000 units x $10)
Reconciliation | |
Variable costing Income | 600,000 |
Add: Fixed overhead deferred in ending inventory | 150,000 |
Absorption costing income | 750,000 |
Fixed manufacturing overhead is absorbed into products under absorption costing | |
They are charged as period costs under variable costing | |
Hence, when units sold are less than produced, absorption costing income will be higher |
