    Absorption Costing Income will be greater than Variable Costing Income by $52,500

    Explanation:

    Absorption Costing Income differ with Variable Costing Income when Production does not equal to Sales. This is because the fixed overheads are deferred in closing inventory under the Absorption Costing System.

    Only when Production equals to Sales then Income under the two methods would be the same.

    a plan to produce 10,000 units

    Production (10,000 units) = Sales (10,000 units)

    therefore Absorption Costing Income equals Variable Costing Income

    a plan to produce 15,000 units

    Production (15,000 units) > Sales (10,000 units)

    therefore Absorption Costing Income does equals Variable Costing Income as fixed cost in Absorption costing are deferred in inventory (5,000) units.

    Differnce = 5,000 units * ($157,500 / 15,000)

    = 5,000 units * $10.50

    = $52,500

    Absorption Costing Income will be greater than Variable Costing Income by $52,500
