Questions and computations on cost accounting under absorption costing versus marginal costing. The document covers how inventory valuation changes when fixed production overhead is treated as a product cost, how profits differ when production and sales volumes do not match, and how under- or over-absorption of fixed overhead affects inventory and profit movements. It includes determining profit using given material, labor, variable and fixed overheads, calculating total contribution using revenue and cost components, selecting which costs are excluded from finished goods inventory in marginal costing, and analyzing inventory valuation effects using unit cost and absorption rates. Multiple-choice scenarios address practical exam-style problem solving.
