  7.1 Marginal cost and marginal costing
  Marginal cost is the variable cost of one units of product or service.
  ● Marginal production cost = direct materials +direct labour + variable production overhead
  Marginal costing is an alternative method of costing to absorption costing. In marginal costing, only variable costs are charged as a cost of sale and a contribution is calculated.
  ● Cost of sales = cot of opening inventory + cost of production units – cost of closing
  inventory
  ● Contribution = sales revenue – variable cost of sales
  Example 1:
  Company A produces a single product and has the following budget:
  Company A budget per unit
  Selling price      $10
  Direct materials      $3
  Direct wages     $2
  Variable overheads     $1
  Fixed production overhead is $10000 per month; production volume is 5000 units per month. Sales volume is 5000 units per month.
  Calculate the cost per unit to be used for stock valuation under.
 ?。?)Absorption costing
  Direct materials     $3
  Direct wages       $2
  Variable overheads    $1
  Absorbed fixed overheads $2 = $10000/5000 units
  Cost per unit      $8
 ?。?)Marginal costing
  Direct materials     $3
  Direct wages       $2
  Variable overheads    $1
  Cost per unit      $6
  Calculate the profit:
  (1)Absorption costing
  Sales revenue 5000 units x $10       $50000
  Costs 5000 units x $8       $40000
  Profits             $10000
 ?。?)Marginal costing
  Sales revenue 5000 units x $10          $50000
  Variable costs 5000 units x $6            $30000
  Contribution            $20000
  Fixed costs            $10000
  Profits              $10000
