Requirement 3
For January, the absorption income statement is higher than the variable costing income statement by $210. This is due to the recognition of fixed manufacturing overhead as part of product cost under absorption costing. Thus, as part of product cost, portion of the fixed manufacturing overhead is recognized as part of the cost of the ending inventory. Under variable costing the fixed manufacturing overhead is expensed outright.
For February, the absorption income statement is lower than the variable costing income statement by $110.
