Answer:

The answer is: Increase 2,558 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have:

Manufacturing overhead allocated to one unit = 106,760 / 10,600 = $10.07;

We have:

Operating income using variable costing - Manufacturing overhead released from inventory + Manufacturing overhead deferred in inventory = Operating income using absorption costing.

=> Manufacturing overhead deferred in inventory - Manufacturing overhead released from inventory = Operating income using absorption costing - Operating income using variable costing = $25,760.

=> 10.07 x ( Units in closing inventory − Units in opening inventory) = 25,760

<=> Units in closing inventory − Units in opening inventory = 2,558 units.

Thus, inventory level increase by 2,558 units through out the year.
