A. Cost ClassificationsAbsorption Costing Variable Costing

Product costs include:

> Direct materials

> Direct labor

> Variable mfg. overhead

> Fixed mfg. overhead

Product costs include:

> Direct materials

> Direct labor

> Variable mfg. overhead

Period costs include:

> Selling & admin. expenses

Period costs include:

> Selling & admin. expenses

> Fixed mfg. overhead

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.

C. Format of Income StatementFull (Absorption) Costing Variable Costing

Sales

- Cost of goods sold

= Gross margin

- Selling & admin. expenses

= Net income

Sales

- Variable expenses

= Contribution margin

- Fixed expenses

= Net income

See Illustration 5-2 on page 166.

D. Report Usage

Absorption costing is required for external reporting.

Variable costing is permitted for internal use only.

II. 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.

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.

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.

III. An Illustration

Selling price per unit $2,000

Variable costs per unit:

Direct materials $ 600

Direct labor $ 225

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 75

Variable selling and administrative expenses $ 40

Fixed costs per year:

Fixed manufacturing overhead $1,200,000

Fixed selling expenses $ 100,000

Fixed administrative expenses $ 500,000

Annual production in units 5,000

Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.

Direct materials 600

Direct labor 225

Variable manufacturing overhead 75

Fixed manufacturing overhead ($1,200,000 / 5,000 units) 240

Absorption unit product cost 1,140

Compute the unit product cost under variable costing.

Direct materials 600

Direct labor 225

Variable manufacturing overhead 75

Variable unit product cost 900

Year 1 Assumption:Production = Sales
