You have just taken a job at a manufacturing company and have discovered that they use absorption costing to analyze product cos

ts and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions. You would like to introduce them to variable costing and explain to them why this costing method can be used and why it is helpful.
Compose a short email - 2 to 3 short paragraphs because the president it too busy to read anything longer than that - proposing a variable costing system and what that might mean for reports, analysis and comparisons. You could give a brief example if you feel that is necessary for your explanation to the president.

Answer and Explanation:

Respected Sir,

Sub: Absorption costing to analyze product costs and subsequent cost-volume-profit decisions

As per your requirement please find the explanation below:

Absorption costing is a process by which we add part of the fixed overhead to the production expense of the goods. If we do on a per-unit basis. Here we will compute by dividing the fixed costs by the number of units that we built and sold over the era. Whereas Variable costing includes fixed overhead as a lump sum instead of a per-unit price.

Under this process, all your variable costs like equipment, raw materials, and shipping are included. We will add the maximum fixed overhead costs for the duration. Such costs are not calculated on a per-unit basis. Rather than we deduct them as a lump-sum expense from your income amount.

Variable costing is really useful as it reveals the earnings after all the expenses are paid for the accounting period. While you would not have earned revenue for the goods we purchased as some may be in the inventory, we are showing you have paid all of your expenses for the time. We have excess revenue when you actually sell the finished goods in the warehouse.

The absorption approach is not all that effective as absorption costing will inflate the income figures excessively in any given span of accounting. Since you're not going to subtract any of your fixed costs as we did not sell any of us produced goods, our profit and loss report doesn't reflect the maximum expenses you've had for the time. Therefore, these results may mislead us when our profitability is analyzed.

Regards

MAVERICK [17]

In the context of time-based competition,  "build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door." could be interpreted as "those who make better innovations would obtain the most opportunities to obtain profit in the market"

Innovations only offers advantages in the competition because it offer different options for consumers that exclusively belong to US. But innovation is NOT THE ONLY factors for the product's success. There are other factors that can influence the success such as marketing strategies, condition of the economy

Quality control cost assigned     $58,968        $81,432

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of quality control = $140,400

Number of annual inspections = 30,000

Cost per inspection = $4.68 ($140,400/30,000)

                                                    Product 1     Product 2     Total

Number of inspections                 12,600          17,400     30,000

Proportion of inspections               42%               58%         100%

Quality control cost assigned   $58,968        $81,432   $140,400

                                   ($4.68 * 12,600)        ($4.68 * 17,400)

                                  (42% * $140,400)       (52% * $140,400)
