Job costing

AAndy6y ago
Also when finding the total job cost under absorption costing, do we take non-production OHs fixed and variable? Or they are excluded? Plus, how are non production OHs treated when the business follows marginal costing when finding total price for a job

As with your previous question, it depends on the precise wording of the question. When costing one specific job, you would usually include all overheads (production and non-production) when it is absorption costing, but only all variable overheads if it is marginal costing.
