Explanation of Solution
- The income statement prepared under variable costing includes the costing of a product on only direct or variable cost, so, the valuation of the ending inventory is done only on variable cost and not on the fixed cost.
- The income statement prepared under absorption costing includes the costing of a product on both fixed and variable costs, so, the valuation of the ending inventory is done on both the cost that is fixed and variable.
- The difference in the value of the closing inventory creates the difference in the incomes under the absorption and variable method.
- When the value of closing inventory becomes zero or same under both methods, the difference between their incomes becomes zero.
Thus, the difference in income between the variable costing and absorption costing is due to the difference in the value of closing inventory under both the methods.
