Unit cost of the product are
Direct Cost $16.20
Fixed production 0verheads $ 7.60
fixed non-production overhead 2.90What is the difference in the profit between absorption and marginal costing?
thank youDecember 7, 2016 at 6:52 am #354861I assume that you have watched my lectures, in which case you will know that the difference in the profits is equal to the change in inventory multiplied by the fixed production overheads per unit.
You know the change in inventory (it falls by 3,000 units) and you know the fixed production overheads per unit (7.60).
