I see your point, Colton. The fixed production overhead absorption rate is also crucial in understanding the difference between the two costing methods.

I believe the actual fixed production overheads and the under or over absorbed fixed production overheads are more important for reconciliation.

Hmm, I was about to say the fixed production overhead absorption rate, but then I realized that would actually help with the reconciliation. Better not overthink this one!

The under or over absorbed fixed production overheads seem like the key item here. That's where the difference between the two costing methods really comes into play.

Wow, this is a tricky one! I'm pretty sure the opening and closing inventory values are crucial for reconciling the profits under the two costing methods.

I agree with Julian. The closing and opening inventory are not relevant to the difference between absorption and marginal costing.

The actual fixed production overheads and the fixed production overhead absorption rate are definitely not needed for this reconciliation. Those are more relevant for the standard costing process itself.
