  • This video explains the concept of Absorption Costing in Managerial Accounting. A comprehensive example is provided to explain how absorption costing is used to calculate per unit product costs as well as to create an absorption costing income statement. The video also contrasts the absorption costing method with the variable cost method and discusses how the use of absorption costing can lead to distorted measures of profitability and perverse managerial incentives.

    New Business Controller at my new job. They are using Absorption Costing, which my old job never did - we only just variable costing. This firm moved from variable to Abs costing five years back due to new management. I´ve only seen disadvantages with this method, and frankly was kinda hoping that you could shed some light onto it. Why are companies using it for other reasons that "well everybody else is using it for external sales"? There must be something good with it....I hope :/

    If I understand correctly, under Abs Costing, CGS is calculated both on Units Sold (DM+DL+MO) and Fixed MO divided by units produced? Whereas sales is only calculated on units sold. (referring to 60000/20 in Q2, as this is the only place I see the 20 units referred to when calculating CGS).

    1. if we made more products why is the sales same ?
    2. If we made more products how is the material used same so how is the material cost same ?
    3. If we made more product then machine hours will be more and labor hours too so how is that remains same?
    All that affects absorption costing correct ?

    Quarter 2 is better than quarter one because there is a decrease in production cost (Fixed Overhead Cost) as a result of an increase in units produced. That's my opinion, but please correct me if am wrong. Thank you

    • @Bovinepug
      @Bovinepug 7 років тому

      but you have a lot of inventory, and perhaps they wont be sold next quarter. Higher risk, but besides that yes. Better.

    • @abrahamcastanon5342
      @abrahamcastanon5342 7 років тому

      In paper looks better, But as in the video said, you are putting that Fixed OH Cost into you products sitting in inventory, What good makes to your firm having that cost in your inventory. If you sell those products in inventory next quarter then your net income will be reduced, because you are bringing those costs already incurred to the next quarter (you defer them) or worse, that product gets damaged or expired so, now you can not sell them, you will lose the DM, DL, VOH and FOH costs you allocated per product, so it will hurt even more the finances of the company.

    Dear Friends, I have a question:
    1/ In the absorption costing system, I think the difference between Absorbed cost and full costing. Absored cost = direct material + direct labor + variable overhead manufacturing + fixed overhead manufacturing for a product or a brand or a product line. full cost= Absored cost + all corporate-related expenses for all product or all brand or all product line. Could you help?. Thank you.

    If it distorts the actual financial health of the company, why Absorption costing required for external reporting (And not Variable costing)?
