Absorption costing is a cost accounting method that allocates all manufacturing costs, including fixed and variable overheads, to individual units of production. This approach ensures that each product absorbs a fair share of the total production costs, providing a comprehensive view of product profitability. Absorption costing is essential for financial reporting and inventory valuation, as it aligns with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
