Absorption costing, also known as full costing, is crucial for manufacturers as it accounts for all production costs, serving as a foundation for setting profitable prices.
Under GAAP, absorption costing is not only required for accurate financial reporting but also essential for tax filings, ensuring that expenses align correctly with revenue.
The matching principle in GAAP dictates that production costs must be recorded alongside the revenue generated from goods sold, which absorption costing effectively facilitates by categorizing costs.
To calculate absorption cost per unit, businesses need to consider direct materials, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead, and fixed manufacturing overhead, crucial for accurate pricing.
