Abigayle Daugherty · Answer 1

Sales last year were 41,900 units

Explanation:

Croft Corporation

Net operating income (absorption costing) $160,000

Net operating income variable costing $149,000

Difference $ 11000

This difference is the amount of the fixed costs of the ending inventories which are included in the absorption costing and excluded from the variable costing income statement.

Fixed manufacturing overhead cost $10 per unit

No of units in the ending inventory = Total Fixed cost / Fixed Cost per unit

= $ 11000/10=1100

Sales = Production Units Less Ending Inventory Units

Sales = 43000 - 1100 = 41900 units
