S1: Marginal costing distinguishes between fixed and variable costs. S2: Absorption costing distinguishes between fixed and variable costs. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
A. S1 only
B. Neither S1 nor S2
C. Both S1 and S2
D. S2 only
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Marginal costing strictly separates costs into fixed and variable components. Absorption costing (traditional costing) charges all manufacturing costs (both fixed and variable) to the product, without this strict separation for decision making. S1 is correct, S2 is incorrect.
S1: The sacrificing ratio is always in the old profit-sharing ratio. S2: The gaining ratio is always in the new profit-sharing ratio. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation:
The sacrificing ratio is calculated as Old Ratio - New Ratio. The gaining ratio is calculated as New Ratio - Old Ratio. They are not necessarily the same as the old or new ratios unless specifically stated. Both are incorrect.
