    Accounting Variable Absorption and Throughput
    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.


    Calculate the value of ending inventory on the balance sheet under the following: (Round answers to 0 decimal places.)
    1. Variable costing
    2. Absorption costing
    3. Throughput costing


    Calculate operating income under each of the following methods: (Round answers to 0 decimal places.)
    1. Variable costing
    2. Absorption costing
    3. Throughput costing


    Estimate the variable costing operating income if 12,110 units were produced and sold in a year

    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.
