    A company manufactures and sells a single product. In two consecutive months the following levels of production and sales (in units) occurred:

    Month 1 Month 2
    Sales 2,600 3,400
    Production 2,700 3,200
    Profits or losses have been calculated for each month using both absorption and marginal costing principles.

    4. Which of the following combinations of profit/(loss) for the two months is consistent with the above data?

    Absorption costing Marginal costing
    Month 1 Month 2 Month 1 Month 2
    $ $ $ $
    A. 200 3,400 (400) 2,200
    B. (400) 3,400 200 2,200
    C. 200 2,200 (400) 3,400
    D. (400) 2,200 200 3,400

    in what basis do they calculate absorbtion costing> marginal costing in month 1
    and marginal is >absorption costing in month 2
    so how do we find the answer as option c 200 -2200 and (400)-3400 how to calculate this
