Absorption Costing vs Marginal Costing | Explained with Example

In this lesson, we look at both absorption costing and marginal costing. We explain what absorption costing is, what marginal costing is, and go through a thorough example on how to calculate net profit using both the absorption costing and marginal costing.
In looking at absorption costing, we explain and go through some examples on over and under absorption of fixed production overheads.
We also look at arguments in favor of both absorption costing and marginal costing.
Check out other straight-forward examples on our channel.
We also offer one-on-one tutorials via Skype at reasonable rates.

  • @walterbigblue
    @walterbigblue3 жыл бұрын

    You stated that over absorption of overheads is deducted from the P&L and under absorption is added to the P&L. My understanding is that it should be the other way around. Under absorption of overheads are deducted from the P&L while over absorptions are added thus increasing gross profit.

    Good lecture thank you so much. there is no problem with the way you have treated over/under absorption, my issue is on the part where you said when there is an increase in opening or closing inventory then the creation of overe/under absorption, my thinking is instead of increase in opening and closing let it be the difference between the budgeted production and the actual production.
