Variable Costing vs. Absorption Costing
manufacturing company that uses the absorptive method of accounting for fixed
manufacturing overhead, and you are approaching the end of the year.
The accounting manager just visited some of your supervisors
and said that the profitability of the company can appear better if more
products were produced, even if they are not all sold right away.
Many of the supervisors do not understand how this makes
sense and asked you to explain it. You decide to meet with all the production
supervisors to explain this.
Explain how the profitability of the company can be made to
look better if they were to produce more products, even if they are not all
sold right away.
