Absorption costing can be criticized as a method that encourages managers to make decisions that may be contrary to the long-term interest of the company.

Absorption-costing income statements cannot easily differentiate between variable and fixed costs.

Master-budget capacity utilization can be more reliably estimated than normal capacity utilization.

SamTech Company has two identical divisions,East and West.Their sales,production volume,and fixed manufacturing costs have been the same for the last five years.The amounts for each division were as follows: East Division uses absorption costing and West Division uses variable costing.Both use FIFO inventory methods.Variable manufacturing costs are $5 per unit.Selling and administrative expenses were identical for each division.There were no inventories at the beginning of Year 1.

Changes in inventory levels do not affect income amounts between variable and absorption costing because the difference in accounting for fixed manufacturing overhead offsets the affect.

Full product costs under absorption costing include only inventoriable costs and upstream costs.

Theoretical capacity is rarely used to calculate the budgeted fixed manufacturing cost per case because it departs significantly from the real capacity available to a company.
