14 December 2013
See,in marginal costing "Fixed cost" are shown as a periodical cost whereas in absorption costing "recovered fixed cost is shown"depending upon the recovery rate on each product.

While absorption costing is a traditional method of cost computation ,marginal costing is modern costing approach ,more reliable for decision making situations.As it considers fixed cost as a sunk cost ,which it true as well.
