    A company uses standard absorption costing. Its fixed overhead absorption rate is £8 per machine hr and each unit of production take 3 machine hrs.
    Last year was an opening inventory of finished good of 4,000 units. They produced 30,000 units and sold 25,000. The actual profit last year was £526,000

    What profit would have been earned under a standard marginal costing system?

    Ans. supposed to be 406,000

    I think it goes smth like this:
    since produced>sold, then absorption costing profit would be more than marginal.
    the difference would be 5000*8*3=120k.
    then you deduct this 120k from 526k and come to 406k.
