25,000 units of a company’s single product are produced in a period during which 28,000 units are sold. Opening inventory was 7,000 units. Unit costs of the product are:
$ per unit
Direct costs
16.20
Fixed production overhead
7.60
Fixed non-production overhead
2.90
What is the difference in profit between absorption and marginal costing?November 18, 2014 at 9:43 am #210913As you will know from the lectures, the only difference in the profits is due to the increase/decrease in inventory x the fixed production costs per unit.
Here they sell 3000 units more than the produce, so the inventory will fall by 3000 units.
So the difference in profits is 3000 x 7.60 = 22,800
