fixed manufacturing overhead

The difference between reported net income on variable costing and absorption costing income statements is based on how

fixed overhead is accounted for

A variable costing income statement

focuses on fixed and variable expenses, while an absorption costing income statement focuses on period and product costs calculates contribution margin while the absorption costing income statement calculates gross margin

Absorption costing can lead managers to mistakenly believe that fixed manufacturing overhead costs will ______ in total as the number of units produced increases.

increase

When allocating fixed manufacturing overhead cost to units under absorption costing, the total fixed overhead costs must be divided by the number of units

produced

Absorption costing treats fixed manufacturing overhead as a

product cost

segment margin only

Hayworth Corporation has just segmented last year's income statement into its ten product lines. The chief executive officer (CEO) is curious as to what effect dropping one of the product lines at the beginning of last year would have had on overall company profit.

true

Segment margin is sales less variable expenses less traceable fixed expenses.
