D. In absorption costing, the fixed manufacturing overhead cost becomes part of product cost. Hence, when production is greater than sales, some of the fixed overhead cost is retained in inventory. Therefore, the net income is higher. Whereas, in variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead cost is classified as period cost, therefore the entire amount is expensed in the period it is incurred.
