(B). Fixed Manufacturing OverheadAbsorption Costing Variable Costing
Fixed manufacturing overhead is treated as a product cost.
Fixed manufacturing overhead is treated as a period cost and
deducted in full each year from revenues.
Balance Sheet
Fixed mfg. overheadFixed mfg. overhead is
never an asset.

- Cost of goods sold
= Gross margin
- Selling & admin. expenses
= Net income

(D). Report Usage
Absorption costing is required for external reporting.
Variable costing is permitted for internal use only.

A Comparison of Income Data for Absorption Costing and
Variable Costing
A. Production = Sales (no change in inventories)
B. Production > Sales (inventories increase)
C. Production < Sales (inventories decrease)

(A) Production = Sales (No change in inventories)
Absorption Costing Net Income
Variable Costing Net Income
If there is no change in inventories, then there is generally no change in the fixed manufacturing
overhead costs in inventories under absorption costing.
11HAFIZ HAMID n' HAFIZ BILAL
0092-301-6459582
(B) Production > Sales (Inventories increase)
Absorption Costing Net Income
Variable Costing Net Income
If inventories increase, then some of the current fixed manufacturing overhead costs will be deferred in
inventories under absorption costing.
12HAFIZ HAMID n' HAFIZ BILAL
0092-301-6459582
(C) Production < Sales (Inventories decrease)
Absorption Costing Net Income
Variable Costing Net Income
If inventories decrease, then some of the prior fixed manufacturing overhead costs that had been deferred
in inventories under absorption costing, will be released as a current charge against income.
