Variable Costing MCQs FAQs
Variable costing is a costing methodology that assigns the costs of production to the products or services based on the variable costs incurred. The fixed costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
The benefits of using variable costing include greater clarity and transparency into the costs of products and services, a more accurate assessment of profitability and performance, and a greater ability to manage costs and pricing decisions.
It may not be suitable for all types of businesses or industries, it does not take into account the impact of fixed costs on profitability, and it can be more complex and time-consuming to implement than other costing methods.
Variable Cost is also known as direct costing.
Variable costing is most suited for industries that have a high degree of variability in their costs, such as manufacturing and retail. It can be less suitable for businesses with more stable or consistent costs, such as those in the service industry.
