Question #1
A: Fixed overheads are ignored in marginal costing. R: Marginal costing only considers variable costs for decision making. Choose the correct option.
A. A is true but R is false
B. A is false but R is true
C. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
D. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In marginal costing, fixed overheads are treated as period costs and are not included in the cost of production. This is because marginal costing focuses on variable costs for short-term decision making. Both are true, but R is the underlying principle, not just an explanation of ignoring fixed costs.
