Marginal Costing

    Hey, I know how to do these, but a quick question, I don't use the formula on the marking schemes, I use my own method :

    Sales-Variable Costs-Fixed Costs= Nety Profit.

    Now it works, and I get the right answers, but will they mark me down for not using the formulas in the marking schemes? Kinda of worried now, cause it is 2 hours before the exam.... :rolleyes:

    If the question asks you to get a figure, and you get the figure, then you get the marks. Unless you are specifically told to do an account, or use a method.

    I use that formula and my teacher says it's perfect. So don't worry =)

    If your on about the contribution then you should be fine as its the the same thing as SP-VC anyway?

    I use your formula too, nothing wrong with it.

    Still trying to figure out when you have to use a new VC and how you get it though!
