Really having a hard time with Absorption and the Throughput method, any help would b appreciated.

Asian Iron began last year with no inventories. During the year, 10,500 units were produced, of which 9,400 were sold. Data concerning last year's operations appear here (in New Taiwanese dollars, NT$):




Revenue
NT$32,900



Variable direct materials cost
2,300



Variable direct labor costs
3,300



Variable manufacturing overhead
2,800



Variable selling
940



Fixed manufacturing overhead
8,250



Fixed selling and administrative costs
14,560


Variable manufacturing costs reflect the variable cost to produce the number of units manufactured. However, variable selling costs are not incurred until the units are sold, so they reflect the cost for the number of units sold. Asian Iron allocates actual manufacturing overhead costs to inventory based on actual units produced.

I have done the variable for operating income's and ending inventory. I am just not understanding how to calculate the absorption and throughput method of finding ending inventory and operating income.
