    Sup guys,
    Help me out?

    Sales Volume Variance is the same whether absorption or marginal costing is used. T or F?

    I *think* it’s True but I’m not sure. What are your POV’s?

    Any and every help is appreciated. Thanks.

    It would be false. In marginal costing we cost it at standard CONTRIBUTION per unit

    That makes sense… except isn’t sales volume measured in units, per se? So won’t the vol. variance be in terms of units?
    And thanks for replying.

    Yeah but you have to give the cost of it…quantity wise it will be same but we value it differently…Because when we talk about sales we wanna know the dollar amount…not just the quantity

    Oh okay I got it now.
    So basically, it’s UnitsSold*x/Unit, where ‘x’ is contribution for MC and gross profit for AC? Is that it?
    Thanks a lot dude!
