For Absorption Costing, I will calculate the Cost of Goods Sold by multiplying the Sales and (Fixed Manufacturing cost per unit + Variable Manufacturing Cost per unit). The reconciliation should be done using this formula: Net Income (Absorption Costing) - Net Income (Variable Costing) = Fixed Overhead in ending balance - Fixed Overhead in opening balance. Thank you.
