HOW DOES VARIABLE COSTING DIFFER FROM ABSORPTION COSTING?
21-5
• Managerial accounting provides managers with information that is useful for internal decision making.
• The cost of producing products is estimated using one of two methods:– Absorption costing includes all product costs.– Variable costing considers only variable
manufacturing costs. • Contribution margin is the difference between
net sales revenue and variable costs.

HOW DOES OPERATING INCOME DIFFER BETWEEN VARIABLE COSTING
AND ABSORPTION COSTING?
• Variable costing and absorption costing will result in different operating income when:– Units produced are more than units sold– Units produced are less than units sold
• The operating income result is the same under both methods when units produced equal units sold.

Units Produced Equal Units Sold
• Assume the following: – There is no beginning Finished Goods
Inventory.– The number of units produced is 2,000, and
the number of units sold is also 2,000. – There is no ending Finished Goods Inventory
because all units are sold. • Operating income is the same under both
methods.

Units Produced Are More Than Units Sold
• Assume the following:– There is no beginning Finished Goods
Inventory.– The company produced 2,500 tablet
computers.– The company sold 2,000 tablet computers.– 500 units are included in ending Finished
Goods Inventory. • Operating income under absorption
costing is greater than under variable costing.

• Assume the following:– There are 500 units in beginning Finished
Goods Inventory.– The company produced 1,500 tablet
computers.– The company sold 2,000 tablet computers.– There are zero units in ending Finished Goods
Inventory.• Operating income under absorption
costing is less than under variable costing.
