    Variable costing income from operations is less than absorption cost income from operations because under variable costing method, variable costs are considered as product cost and fixed costs are treated as period costs.

    The difference in variable costing and absorption costing income from operations:

    Production was 130,000 units

    Sales were 125,000 units

    Closing stock = 130,000 - 125,000 = 5,000

    = Closing stock * Fixed cost per unit

    = 5,000 * $50

    = $250,000
