Steps Calculation a full cost using absorption costing
1 Revenue
Sold units x Sales pricing = Total revenue
2 Cost of goods sold
Sold units x Direct material = Direct material Cost
Sold units x Direct labour = Direct labour Cost
Sold units x Variable selling & distribution = Variable selling & distribution Cost
Sold units x Other variable production overhead = Other variable production overhead Cost
Fixed costs Total fixed costs
3 Total production costs SUM(Costs)
Unit cost = Total production costs ÷ Actual produced units
Ending inventory = (Actual produced units - Sold units) x Unit cost
Cost of goods sold = Total production costs - Ending inventory
3 Profit (loss) = Total revenue - Cost of goods sold
