Normal utilization capacity is the
sales, the absorption-costing based operating income is the smallest when normal capacity utilization is used as the denominator level.
Requirement 4. Reconcile the difference in operating income based on theoretical capacity and practical capacity with the difference in fixed manufacturing overhead included in inventory. (Abbreviation used:
