Absorption and Variable Costing 8- Since the costs of production are stored in inventory accounts until the goods are sold under absorption costing, these costs are said to be inventoried, or inventoriable costs. When using variable costing, only variable costs are inventoried. When using absorption costing, both variable and fixed costs are inventoried. (LO1) Absorption and Variable Costing The difference between absorption and variable costing is the treatment of fixed manufacturing overhead. 8- Eventually, fixed overhead is expensed under both product-costing systems. Under variable costing, however, fixed overhead is expensed immediately, as it is incurred. Under absorption costing, fixed overhead is inventoried until the accounting period during which the manufactured goods are sold. (LO1) Absorption and Variable Costing Mellon Co. produces a single product with the following information available: 8- We will assume that Mellon company produces a single product.
