Conclusions
Net operating income is not affected by changes in
production using variable costing.
Net operating income is affected by changes in production
using absorption costing even though the number of units
sold is the same each year.

Learning Objective 4
Understand the
advantages and
disadvantages of both
variable and absorption
costing.

To conform to
GAAP requirements,
absorption costing must be used for
external financial reports in the
United States.

Management finds
it more useful.
Advantages
Impact of fixed
costs on profits
emphasized.
Consistent with
CVP analysis.
Net operating income
is closer to
net cash flow.
Consistent with standard
costs and flexible budgeting.
Easier to estimate profitability
of products and segments.
Profit is not affected by
changes in inventories.
7-37
Fixed manufacturing
costs must be assigned
to products to properly
match revenues and
costs.
Absorption
Costing
Fixed manufacturing
costs are capacity costs
and will be incurred
even if nothing is
produced.
