decrease in costing profit
decrease in financial accounts profit
increase in costing profit
increase in financial accounts profit
✅ The correct answer is C.
Under absorption of overhead expenses in cost accounting results in increase in costing profit. If overhead is under absorbed, this means that more actual overhead costs were incurred than expected, with the difference being charged to expense as incurred. This usually means that the recognition of expense is accelerated into the current period, so that the amount of profit recognized declines.
