    I did not think the overhead absorption rate would be used for marginal costing. Why are we using it?

      No worries. I was able to figure it out. Fixed costs are not stated as a round figure but per unit based on production!

      Initially, I had thought that the 12000 were the number of units the AR was calculated based upon.

      That’s the difference between the amount produced and the amount sold-13,500 units were produced but 12,000 units sold-the difference between the 2 is 1,500

    Hi, please can you help me with this query.

    Regarding the below formula, I thought MC don’t include fixed overheads? In that case why are we adding it to opening inventory?

    AC Profit
    add: fixed overhead in opening inventory
    less: fixed overhead in closing inventory
    MC profit
