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.

@counttuts, do you use the predetermined / actual fixed overhead cost as a period cost in marginal costing? I love your explanation sir👌
I enjoyed your teaching
Please sir how do u know when to apply the absorbed overhead formula I'm a bit confused 😔
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.

That would be incorrect actually. Follow our explanation in the lesson again to understand.
nice lecture. big ups
this is very helpful
Best explanatory video 🥂
Very informative
wow 🙌🙌🙌 thank you Mr for you help now I understand clearly
i was wondering why when there is higher closing stock = profit will be higher when using absorption costing, and your example easily let me understand how it works. Thank you!
What if sales in units is given along with production in units ? How do we find inventories?
if i dont comment i must be selfish. thank you so much for breaking down this topic. God bless you

Thx for making the vid 😊
Please what will I do if there is a variable selling,distribution and administration costs of about 20% of the sales value
hey sir, why under/over absorbed overhead only included fixed production cost ,how about the variable production cost
Simple, clear and straight to the point! Thank you!
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.
Thank you so much sir for teaching me this😭I’m truly grateful and you are a great lecturer!
Thanks a lot for explaining in details! ♥
Thank you 😊
Thank you. you are amazing
Dear Friends, I have a question: I want to setup Absorption costing of a product in year 2020. Next, I want to compare actual costing and Absorption costing in this product by month, year. How do I setup?.
Please I need to ask some questions base on absorption and marginal costing... Been trying to do some calculations on it... But it was difficult...
can i use this for cima
Good work 👏 🙌 👍

The closing inventory for production of 6000 should it not be the opening inventory for the next production that 7000 units?
For over and under absorption, why didn't we consider the variable cost of r 35?

Sir, Thank you.
How about when you have opening inventory?
Sir, could I know why the closing inventory in absorption costing, production of 6000&7000units is zero? It shouldn’t have 1000units? Why
