Explanation of Solution
The difference between the absorption and variable costing income from operations of $32,000
Increase in inventory = 8,000 units
Fixed factory overhead per unit = $4
Under absorption costing method, the fixed
Under variable costing, all of the fixed factory overhead cost is subtracted in the period in which it is incurred, regardless of the amount of inventory change. Therefore, when inventory rises, the absorption costing income statement will have a higher income from operations than will the variable costing income statement.
