I can’t figure out contribution September 13, 2019 at 1:07 pm #546022 John MoffatKeymasterTopics: 57Replies: 54643☆☆☆☆☆ABC absorbs the fixed overheads differently.With marginal costing the contribution will not be affected because we do not absorb the fixed overheads.With absorption costing the profit will change because the opening and closing inventories will be valued differently when using ABC.However, you cannot be asked calculation questions on ABC in Paper MA (calculations are not examined until Paper PM).AuthorPostsViewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)You must be logged in to reply to this topic.Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
