When comparing absorption costing and variable costing, if units produced are units sold, what is the effect on net operating income?

The Net Operating income will be the same for both methods.

Explanation:

Net Operating income under absorption costing and variable costing methods usually differ because of existence of inventory.

Fixed overheads are deferred in Inventory when using absorption costing. Meaning that a higher income is obtained under absorption costing than variable costing when there is inventory and a lower income under absorption costing than variable costing.

When units produced are units sold, there is no inventory. Therefore, the Net Operating income will be the same for both methods.
