Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Absorption costing includes all manufacturing costs (fixed and variable) in the cost of a product. The operating income (loss) is calculated by subtracting total costs from sales revenue. The correct figures are $(24,500) for January and $(26,050) for February, as these reflect the absorption costing method.
