Variable expenses 144,900 …show more content…
Firms which embrace variable cost normally set apart overhead and another fixed cost from production cost. The other difference is that only variable cost of manufacturing is added to get the overall cost of production while fixed costs are considered. It would also provide the contribution of a product used to determine the breakeven point of a product. Absorption cost, on the other hand, will absorb both fixed and variable cost incurred in times of production. Absorption costing will also give the product of production directly while in variable costing, one has to add the fixed costs again as a periodic cost to get the profit of the product. Also, absorption cost and fixed manufacturing are part of product cost while variable cost is only considered making other fixed manufacturing overhead a periodic cost (Kieso,
