Forums › ACCA Forums › ACCA MA Management Accounting Forums › Marginal n absorption costing
A company uses standard absorption costing. Its fixed overhead absorption rate is $8 per machine hour and each unit of production should take 3 machine hours. Last year there was an opening inventory of finished goods of 4000 units. They produced 30,000 units and sold 25,000 units. The actual profit last year was $526K.
What profit would have been earned under a standard marginal costing system?
(the answer is $406K)
here when calculating y u have not take the 4000 inventory.i think the differences between opening n closing is 1000.as (30000-25000)=5000 closing.then OAR should to multiply with 1000 for getting profit differences.m i wrong? plz explain.i m confused with this.
thank you sir in advance
Hello Farzana,
Is the answer 406k or 486k. If you don’t mind, can you let me know where the question comes from. It’s a bit confusing.
Thanks
The answer is 406. I have found this in a online mock exam.
