Absorption Costing
An accounting method that includes all manufacturing costs - direct materials, direct labor, and both variable and fixed overhead - in the cost of a unit of product.
Net Income
The total profit of a company after all expenses, including taxes, have been subtracted from total revenues.
Operating Expenses
Costs associated with running the day-to-day operations of a business, excluding costs related to production or manufacturing.
- Examine the effects of alterations in production volume on profitability utilizing both costing approaches.
- Examine the impact of various costing techniques on financial statements and the decision-making process of managers.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Net income under absorption costing = (Total sales - Cost of goods sold) - Operating expenses
Total sales = 10,000 units x $50 per unit = $500,000
Cost of goods sold = (Beginning inventory + Purchases) - Ending inventory + Manufacturing costs
= (3,000 units x $30 per unit + 20,000 units x $32 per unit) - 2,000 units x $32 per unit + $180,000
= $1,180,000
Therefore, net income = ($500,000 - $1,180,000) - $200,000 = -$880,000 + $200,000
= -$680,000
However, this is not a possible answer as net income cannot be negative. This is due to overproduction or overestimation of costs. We need to adjust for the overabsorption of fixed manufacturing costs by adding the difference between actual fixed manufacturing overhead and applied fixed manufacturing overhead.
Actual fixed manufacturing overhead = $220,000
Applied fixed manufacturing overhead = 30,000 units x $4 per unit = $120,000
Overabsorbed fixed manufacturing overhead = $100,000
Adjusted net income = -$680,000 + $100,000 = -$580,000
Finally, since net income cannot be negative, we need to take the absolute value of the adjusted net income to get the net income under absorption costing:
Net income under absorption costing = $580,000
Therefore, the best choice is D.
