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.

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).
