Computation of absorption costing net operating income:
Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit = Fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ Units produced = $108,000÷ 5,400 units = $20 per unit
Manufacturing overhead deferred in (released from) inventory = Fixed manufacturing overhead in ending inventory - Fixed manufacturing overhead in beginning inventory = ($20 per unit × 200 units) - $0 = $4,000
