Why is CVP analysis more difficult when using absorption costing than when using variable costing? -Selling and administrative costs are ignored when performing CVP analysis. -CVP analysis requires costs to be broken down between variable and fixed which is not done in absorption costing. -CVP analysis requires costs to be broken down into product and period costs, which is not done in absorption costing. -Fixed manufacturing overhead is ignored when performing CVP analysis.
