d. $112,200

Respuesta :

Answer:

The current option is D,$112,200

Explanation:

Absorption costing net operating income can derived by adding the fixed costs on closing inventory to net operating income from variable costing method since the difference between the tow methods is that absorption costing methods only consider an expense in the current year the fixed costs on  items sold,by implication the fixed costs on closing inventory are deferred till when closing inventory is sold

Absorption costing net income=$96,100+(3600-1300)*$7

                                                   =$112,200

The correct option is D
