costs(selling and administrative expenses).

Absorption costing:
1. regards both variable and fixed costs as product costs. So unit costs for a product is both variable
manufacturing costs and fixed manufacturing costs.

absorption costing and vice versa)

(Direct materials + Direct Labor + Variable manufacturing overhead)

inventory (Fixed overhead in ending inventory - fixed overhead in beginning inventory)
