ABSORPTON &VARHBLE C0STIftG MS-03: ABSORPTION COSTIIIG .
VARIABLE COSTING -
is a costing method that includes all manufacturing costs - direct materials, direct labor, variable and fixed factory oyerhead - in the cost of a unit of .product. It treats fixed factory overhead (FFOH)as a product cost. Absorption costing is also known as full costing. is a costing method that includes only variable manufacturing costs - direct materials, dired labor, and variable manufacturing overhead * in the cost of a unit of product. It treats FFOHas a period cost Variable costing is.also called dired costing'
PRODUCT rc. PERI(X) C(XIT A productcdst is an inventoriable cost that is subject to allocation between sold and unsold units. Current income is reduced only by the amount allsteited to the'sold unlts.

It st pports the treatment of cost of sales as expense only,vdrnir rafrted urd,tshave.be€n,rold. Incomc statqnGrt An income stattfncftt preparcd under absorption costing distinguishes between production and other costs. Production c@s pertairting to Cotd,Unitsare-firct deducted from sales to arrive at gross profit, and then other costs are deducted to obtain net income.

Under variable costing, the incorde statement dlsttngulshes b€tw€€n eariable and fixed costs. All variable costs are'fi'rst deducted-from ravenue to afhre rt th€ cofttilbuttoil fiargin, artd then fixed costs are deducted to obtain profit. I ' Income GomPutatlon Variable costing income may differ from absorption costing income kcause of t{re difeienee .in. the amount of FFOH recognired as exp€nse during an aceounting period. This is acturallycaused by th€ difference:between produetion and sales. In the long run, howsrer, both methods wsuld yi€ld thq,$r-ng resufts since sales cannot continuously exceed production, nor production can continuously exceed sales.(NOTE:the term "income'is liberallyused to mean'profit") Page 1 of4 pages

R,ECONCILIATIOT{OF I]{COTIIE UNDER AB$RPTION ANd VARIABLE G.OETIilG o T-hedifference between the absorption costing income ard variable costing income is primarily a timing difference-- when to recognizEthe FFOHas an expense. r . In vaiiable costing, it is expensed when FFOJ-Iis incurred, while in absohption costing, it is expFnsed in the periodwhen the relatedunits are sold. r The reiationshipbetween production and sales generatly indicate the following income pattems: 1. When production is equal to sales, there is no chairge in inventory. FFOHexpensed under dbsorption gosling (AC) equals,FFOHexpensedunder variable Costing(VC).

Z. When production is gneater than sales, there is an increase in inventory. FFOH expensed . under absorption coiting is ,less thqn FFOH expensed under variable costing. Tlt€ref0fe, absorption income is greater than variable income'

3. When production is fess than sal'Os,there is a decr€as€ in irwentory. FFOI'IexperFed under absorption costing is grqater than FFOH expensed under variable costing. Therefore, absorption income is less Stan variabfe inorne.
