MAMarginal costing and absorption costing

KKrish10y ago
Why is the absorption costing profit lower than marginal costing profit when the number of units in inventory reduce during the period?

You asked this as a comment on a lecture, and I have answered you there. (And why a second post with '??' ? :-) If it was because you expected an instant answer then you will not get instant answers. We answer within 24 hours, but we cannot possible sit in front of a computer for 24 hours a day (especially since you asked your question in the middle of the night in my time zone :-) )

Of course he has been answered! If you read my reply properly you will see that he asked the same question in two places - I answered one and so there is no point in my answering it twice! (If you are interested in the answer then I suggest that you watch our free lectures on absorption and marginal costing because it is explained in full there - I am not going to type out the whole lecture here :-) Our free lectures are a complete course for Paper F2 and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.)
