Absorption costing is a costing system which treats all costs of production as product costs, regardless weather they are variable or fixed. The cost of a unit of product under absorption costing method consists of direct materials, direct labor and both variable and fixed overhead.
Managers often assume that unit product costs are variable costs. This is a problem under absorption costing, since unit product costs are a combination of both fixed and variable costs. Under variable costing, unit product costs do not contain fixed costs.nder absorption, the fixed costs are mingled together with the variable costs and are buried in cost of goods sold and in ending inventories. Variable costing data make it easier to estimate the profitability of products, customers, and other segments of the business.
