$105, 700

Explanation:

The cause of the difference between the Variable Costing Net Operating Income and Absorption Costing Net Operating Income is because of fixed costs absorbed in inventory using the absorption costing method.

We need to reconcile the Variable Costing Net Operating Income to Absorption Costing Net Operating Income.

Reconciling the Variable Costing Net Operating Income to Absorption Costing Net Operating Income

Absorption Costing Net Operating Income            $105,700

Conclusion :

The absorption costing net operating income last year was $105, 700
