12 marginal Costing Learning Objectives When you have finished studying this chapter, you should be able to Understand the difference between absorption costing and marginal costing Understand the concept of contribution and contribution to sales ratio. Understand the method of computation of break-even point, both mathematically and also with the help of a graph. Understand the basic limitations of break even analysis Definitions In order to appreciate the concept of marginal costing, it is necessary to study the definition of marginal costing and certain other terms associated with this technique. The important terms have been defined as follows: 1. marginal costing: The ascertainment of marginal cost and of the effect on profit of changes in volume or type of output by differentiating between fixed costs and variable costs. 2. marginal cost : The amount at any given volume of output by which aggregate variable costs are changed if the volume of output is increased by one unit.

At the level of fixed cost of ` 30,000, there shall be no profit and no loss. 7. Key factor: Key factor or Limiting factor is a factor which at a particular time or over a
