The document compares the profit calculated using marginal costing versus absorption costing. Under marginal costing, the company anticipates a profit of $90,000 using only variable costs, while absorption costing which includes fixed costs estimates the profit at $153,297. Absorption costing provides a more accurate picture of profitability by fully allocating total production costs rather than just variable costs.
