Because absorption costing emphasizes costs by behavior, it works well with cost-volume-profit analysis.
False
Under conventional absorption costing, the fixed costs associated with idle production capacity are not included as part of the product cost.
False
Under variable costing, the unit product cost varies depending on how many units are manufactured.
False
Net operating income is affected by the number of units produced when absorption costing is used.
True
The costs assigned to units in inventory are typically lower under variable costing than under absorption costing.
True
Under variable costing, fixed manufacturing overhead cost is not treated as a product cost.
True
When production is less than sales, absorption costing income is less than variable costing income.
True
