Sup guys,
Help me out?Sales Volume Variance is the same whether absorption or marginal costing is used. T or F?
I *think* it’s True but I’m not sure. What are your POV’s?
Any and every help is appreciated. Thanks.

And thanks for replying.July 2, 2015 at 10:17 pm #259379Yeah but you have to give the cost of it…quantity wise it will be same but we value it differently…Because when we talk about sales we wanna know the dollar amount…not just the quantity

So basically, it’s UnitsSold*x/Unit, where ‘x’ is contribution for MC and gross profit for AC? Is that it?
Thanks a lot dude! - AuthorPosts
