A Simplified Graphical Display of Production and Sales Volume Effects on Absorption Costing Income.

Puntos clave

To illustrate how changes in production and sales volumes affect absorption costing income through graphical representation.
Constructed two graphs depicting income effects of varying production while holding sales constant.
Developed a second graph to show income effects of changing sales levels while keeping production constant.
Compared and contrasted the results to those obtained from direct costing.
The graphs effectively illustrate the relationship between direct and absorption costing incomes.
Changes in sales volume influence absorption costing income significantly at fixed production levels.
Variations in production volume also impact absorption costing income at constant sales levels.

Resumen

Abstract ABSTRACT: Two graphs are constructed to show (1) the effects of sales level changes on absorption costing income (at any specified production volume) and, (2) the effects of production volume changes on absorption costing income (at any specified sales level). Each construction is based on a graph of direct costing income with the result that a useful picture of the relationship between direct and absorption costing income is obtained.
