Marginal Costing and Absorption
Costing There are mainly two techniques of determining cost
and profit:-
Marginal CostingAbsorption Costing
These are not methods of costing like job costing orprocess costing.

Marginal Costing: CIMA defines marginal costing as the accounting
system in which variable costs are charged to the costunits and fixed costs of the period are written-off infull against the aggregate contribution.

ABSORPTION COSTING Absorption costing is a costing technique, which does
not recognise the difference between fixed costs andvariable costs, all the manufacturing costs areabsorbed in the cost of the products produced.
Absorption costing is a traditional approach and is alsoknown as Conventional Costing.

Characteristics of Marginal Costing Segregation of Costs into fixed and variable elements.
Marginal Costs as products costs.
Fixed costs as period costs.Valuation of inventory(on the basis of variable
manufacturing cost only)
Contribution (sales variable cost ).

Variable CostsVariable costsare costs such as raw materials, direct
labor, direct expenses and energy, commission on salesunits etc, that vary or change directly with the amountof product produced and sold.

Differences between Marginal
Costing and Absorption Costing Marginal costing differs from absorption costing on
the ground of difference in valuation of closing stock.Marginal costing techniques values closing stock atmarginal cost where as it is valued at total cost ofproduction in absorption costing techniques.

Uses of Marginal Costing in
Decision making: Helps in Fixation of selling price
Helps in selecting a suitable produce mix formaximum profit.
Determining Break Even point.
Choosing from the available alternative method ofproduction the one which gives highest contribution orcontribution per limiting factor.
Make or buy decision on the basis of highercontribution
Taking a decision as regard to adding a new product inthe market.

Decisions Based on
Marginal Costing To plan their operations, manufacturing firms must
decide:
How many units they expect to sell
How many units to produce
How much to spend to produce and sell these units
At what price they must sell the units to make the profit
they want To make these decisions, firms may calculate the
break-even point.

Break-Even Point The break-even pointis the point at which income
from sales equals the total cost of producing andselling goods.
It is the point at which the business will neither make aprofit nor suffer a loss.
When sales exceed the break-even point, there is aprofit.
When sales are less than the break-even point, there isa loss.

Finding the Break-Even Point To find the break-even point, you need to know three
things:
Fixed costs for manufacturing the product
Variable costs for manufacturing each unit of theproduct
Expected selling price of each unit of the product

Break-Even (or cost volume profit)
Analysis
It establishes the relationship of costs, volume and
profit in broader sense break even analysis is onewhich determines the profit earned at any point orlevel of output. In narrow sense it is to determine thebreak even point (no-profit, no-loss) from whereprofits accrue.

Contribution and P/V ratioContribution
- The amount contributed towards fixedexpenses and profit i.e., sales less variable cost.
Profit / Volume ratio (P/V Ratio)
- Studies the profitability of operations of a
business and establishes the relationship betweencontribution and sales.

To improve the P/V- Reduce variable costs
- Increase the selling price- Produce products having higher P/V ratio

Margin of Safety It is the level of sale over and above the break even
point.MoS = Sales - BEP
Percentage of Margin of Safety
= (Expected Sales BEP sales) x 100

List of Formulae:
1) Variable expenses per unit

2) Marginal cost equation
Sales Variable Cost = Fixed cost profit /loss

Break Even Chart:
It provides pictorial view of the relationshipbetween costs, volume & profit, it shows the Breakeven points and also indicates the estimated profit/ loss at various levels of output. Break Evenchart is a point at which the total cost line and thetotal sales line intersect.
Profit volume chart:
It represent profit volume relationship, it showsprofit/loss at different volumes of sales

Find the break even point in Rs;
Find out the profit or loss if only 6000 tickets are sold;
The board of trustees for Seattle Theater would like to run free workshops andclasses for young actors and aspiring playwrights. This programme would cost $3600 per month in fixed expenses, no variable expenses would be incurred.How many theatre tickets must be sold to earn a profit of $ 3600.
What would happen to the break even point if fixed utilities expenses prove tobe $ 2600 instead of $ 1400.
Suppose that various people pledge donations amounting to $ 6000 per month,what would be the Break Even point ?
What would happen to the Break even point in miscellaneous variableexpenses incur to be $ 3 per ticket instead of $ 2.
What would have the effect on BEP if ticket price is raised to $ 18
