Difference between absorption and marginal costing
www.cssfounder.com
7
Absorption costing Marginal costingTreatment for fixed manufacturing overheads
Fixed manufacturing overheads are treated as product costing. It is believed that products cannot be produced without the resources provided by fixed manufacturing overheads
Fixed manufacturing overhead are treated as period costs. It is believed that only the variable costs are relevant to decision-making.Fixed manufacturing overheads will be incurred regardless there is production or not
www.cssfounder.com
8
Absorption costing Marginal costingValue of closing stock
High value of closing stock will be obtained as some factory overheads are included as product costs and carried forward as closing stock
Lower value of closing stock that included the variable cost only
www.cssfounder.com
9
Absorption costing Marginal costingReported profit
If the production = Sales, AC profit = MC Profit
If Production > Sales, AC profit > MC profitAs some factory overhead will be deferred as product costs under the absorption costing
If Production < Sales, AC profit < MC profitAs the previously deferred factory overhead will be released and charged as cost of goods sold

10
Argument for absorption costing
www.cssfounder.com
11
• Compliance with the generally accepted accounting principles
• Importance of fixed overheads for production• Avoidance of fictitious profit or loss– During the period of high sales, the production is small
than the sales, a smaller number of fixed manufacturing overheads are charged and a higher net profit will be obtained under marginal costing
– Absorption costing is better in avoiding the fluctuation of profit being reported in marginal costing

12
Arguments for marginal costing
www.cssfounder.com
13
• More relevance to decision-making• Avoidance of profit manipulation– Marginal costing can avoid profit manipulation by
adjusting the stock level• Consideration given to fixed cost– In fact, marginal costing does not ignore fixed costs in
setting the selling price. On the contrary, it provides useful information for break-even analysis that indicates whether fixed costs can be converted with the change in sales volume

Break-even analysis
www.cssfounder.com
15
Definition
• Breakeven analysis is also known as cost-volume profit analysis
• Breakeven analysis is the study of the relationship between selling prices, sales volumes, fixed costs, variable costs and profits at various levels of activity
www.cssfounder.com
16
Application
• Breakeven analysis can be used to determine a company’s breakeven point (BEP)
• Breakeven point is a level of activity at which the total revenue is equal to the total costs
• At this level, the company makes no profit
www.cssfounder.com
17
Assumption of breakeven point analysis
• Relevant range– The relevant range is the range of an activity over which
the fixed cost will remain fixed in total and the variable cost per unit will remain constant
• Fixed cost– Total fixed cost are assumed to be constant in total
• Variable cost– Total variable cost will increase with increasing number of
units produced
www.cssfounder.com
18
• Sales revenue– The total revenue will increase with the increasing
number of units produced

Calculation method
• Contribution is defined as the excess of sales revenue over the variable costs
• The total contribution is equal to total fixed cost

Example
• Selling price per unit $12• Variable cost per unit $3• Fixed costs $45000Required:– Compute the breakeven point
www.cssfounder.com
27
Breakeven point in units = Fixed costsContribution per unit
= $45000 $12-$3
= 5000 units
Sales revenue at breakeven point = $12 * 5000 = $60000

Alternative method
Contribution to sales ratio $9 /$12 *100% = 75%Sales revenue at breakeven point= Contribution required to break even
Contribution to sales ratio= $45000 75%= $60000Breakeven point in units = $60000/$12 = 5000 units

Units sold at target profit = $84000 /$12 = 7000 units

Margin of safety
www.cssfounder.com
35
Margin of safety
• Margin of safety is a measure of amount by which the sales may decrease before a company suffers a loss.
• This can be expressed as a number of units or a percentage of sales
www.cssfounder.com
36
Formula
Margin of safety= Margin of safety Budget sales level *100%
Margin of safety= Budget sales level – breakeven sales level

Margin of safety

38
Example
• The breakeven sales level is at 5000 units. The company sets the target profit at $18000 and the budget sales level at 7000 units
Required:Calculate the margin of safety in units and express it as a percentage of the budgeted sales revenue
www.cssfounder.com
39
Margin of safety= Budget sales level – breakeven sales level= 7000 units – 5000 units= 2000 units
Margin of safety= Margin of safety Budget sales level= 2000 7000= 28.6%
*100 %
*100 %
The margin of safety indicates that the actual sales can fall by2000 units or 28.6% from the budgeted level before losses areincurred.

Changes in components of breakeven point
www.cssfounder.com
41
Example
• Selling price per unit $12• Variable price per unit $3• Fixed costs $45000• Current profit $18000
www.cssfounder.com
42
• If the selling prices is raised from $12 to $13, the minimum volume of sales required to maintain the current profit will be:
Fixed cost + Target profit
Contribution to sales ratio
=$45000 + $18000
$13 - $3
= 6300 units
www.cssfounder.com
43
• If the fixed cost fall by $5000 but the variable costs rise to $4 per unit, the minimum volume of sales required to maintain the current profit will be:
Fixed cost + Target profit
Contribution to sales ratio
= $40000 + $18000
$12 - $4
= 7250 unitswww.cssfounder.com
44
Limitation of breakeven point
www.cssfounder.com
45
Limitations of breakeven analysis
• Breakeven analysis assumes that fixed cost, variable costs and sales revenue behave in linear manner. However, some overhead costs may be stepped in nature. The straight sales revenue line and total cost line tent to curve beyond certain level of production
www.cssfounder.com
46
• It is assumed that all production is sold. The breakeven chart does not take the changes in stock level into account
• Breakeven analysis can provide information for small and relatively simple companies that produce same product. It is not useful for the companies producing multiple products
