    Option B, increased by 7,010 units is the correct answer

    Explanation:

    The profits under absorption costing of $125,750 is higher than the one recorded under variable costing of $90,000, this implies that more inventory items have been charged with fixed cost included in the closing value of inventory.

    The fixed manufacturing overhead per unit=$58,650/11,500

    =$5.1

    Invariably, each item of closing inventory under absorption costing has $5.1 of fixed cost included in it.

    The difference between both methods' profit figures $35,750 ($125,750-$90,000)

    number of increase in closing inventory=difference in profit figures/fixed cost per unit

    number of increase in closing inventory=$35,750/$5.1

    =7,010

    a. Decreased by 7010 units

    Explanation:

    Variable costing net operating income$ 90,000

    Add manufacturing overhead costs

    deferred in inventory under absorption

    costing ($125,750-$90,000) $35,750

    Deduct fixed manufacturing overhead costs released from inventory under absorption costingAbsorption costing net operating income $125,750

    Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = $58,650 : 11,500 units = $5.1 per unit

    Manufacturing overhead deferred in (released from) inventory = Fixed manufacturing overhead in endinginventory - Fixed manufacturing overhead in beginning inventory$35,750 = ($5.1 per unit * Units in ending inventory) - ($5.1 per unit * Units in beginning inventory) $35,750 = $5.1 per unit * (Units in ending inventory - Units in beginning inventory) (Units in ending inventory - Units in beginning inventory)

    = $35,750: $5.1 per unit = 7,010 units
