Absorption costing
Treatment for Fixed
fixed
manufacturing
manufacturing overheads are
overheads
treated as product
costing. It is
believed that
products cannot be
produced without
the resources
provided by fixed
manufacturing
overheads
Marginal costing
Fixed manufacturing
overhead are treated
as period costs. It is
believed that only the
variable costs are
relevant to decisionmaking.
Fixed
manufacturing
overheads will be
incurred regardless
there is production
or not
13
Value of
closing stock
Absorption costing
High value of
closing stock will be
obtained as some
factory overheads
are included as
product costs and
carried forward as
closing stock
Marginal costing
Lower value of
closing stock that
included the variable
cost only
14
Absorption costing
Marginal costing
Reported If the production = Sales, AC profit = MC Profit
profit
If Production > Sales, AC profit > MC profit
As some factory overhead will be deferred as
product costs under the absorption costing
If Production < Sales, AC profit < MC profit
As the previously deferred factory overhead
will be released and charged as cost of goods
sold
