Description:

CIMA defines marginal costing as "the accounting system in which variable costs are charged to the cost units and fixed costs of the period are written off in full against the aggregate contribution. Its special value is in decision-making." Marginal costing is not a distinct method of costing like job costing or process costing. It is a technique which provides presentation of cost data in such a way that true cost-volume-profit relationship is revealed. Under this technique, it is presumed that costs can be divided in two categories, i.e., fixed cost and variable cost. Fixed cost is charged to contribution of the period in which it is incurred and is considered period cost.
