Answer:
$69,500
Explanation:
The computation of the absorption costing net operating income is shown below:
= Net operating income under variable costing - change in operating income
where,
Change in operating income is
= 3,500 units × $9
= $21,000
The change in inventory is 3,500 only
So, the absorption costing net operating income is
= $90,500 - $21,000
= $69,500
