2. A company would prefer the direct costing method because only variable manufacturing
costs (direct material + direct labour + variable manufacturing overheads) are included in
inventory valuation, which is of particular importance to management (we use variable
information for decision making purposes)

Variable selling and distribution costs are added to arrive at marginal income.
Variable non-manufacturing costs, as well as ALL fixed costs, will be treated as period costs.
This helps to overcome the problem of allocating fixed costs.

c) i) Over/under applied overheads
Actual fixed overheads 217 500
Applied overheads (R150 x 1 400 units) 210 000
Under applied (7 500)


ii) Dr Cost of sales 7 500
Cr Manufacturing overheads 7 500

Actual fixed overheads 217 500
Applied overheads (652 500 - 125 000 - 292 500) 235 000
Over applied 17 500


Dir mat (100 000 + 225 000) 325 000
Dir lab (25 000 + 67 500) 92 500

Cr Cost of sales 17 500

3. The opening inventory is valued on the absorption costing system as it contains the applied
fixed overheads at the recovery rate of R130 per unit, whereas the direct method would only
include the variable costs (materials, labour and overheads).
