How Does Operating Income Differ Between Variable Costing and
Absorption Costing?• Variable costing and absorption costing
will result in different operating income when:– Units produced are more than units sold and– Units produced are less than units sold
• The operating income result is the same under both methods when units produced equal units sold.

Production Equals Sales
• Assume the following: – There is no beginning Finished Goods
Inventory.– Number of units produced is 2,000, and units
sold is also 2,000. – There is no ending Finished Goods Inventory
because all units were sold.
• Operating income is the same under both methods.

Production Exceeds Sales
• Assume the following:– There is no beginning Finished Goods
Inventory.– Produced 2,500 tablet computers.– Sold 2,000 tablet computers.– 500 units are included in ending Finished
Goods Inventory.
• Operating income under absorption costing is greater than under variable costing.
