Outback uses a predetermined overhead rate for applying manufacturing overhead to its product. A total manufacturing overhead rate of $8.60 per unit was employed for absorption costing purposes in 20x1. Any overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead is closed to the Cost of Goods Sold account at the end of the year. The 20x1 beginning finished-goods inventory for absorption costing purposes was valued at the 20x0 budgeted unit manufacturing cost, which was the same as the 20x1 budgeted unit manufacturing cost. There are no work-in-process inventories at either the beginning or the end of the year. The planned and actual unit selling price for 20x1 was $71.30 per unit. Required: Compute the difference between Outback Corporation's 20x1 reported income calculated under absorption costing and calculated under variable costing.
