Manufacturing Decisions Shaded cells have feedback. Whenever the units manufactured differ from the units sold, finished goods inventory is affected. In analyzing income from operations, such increases and decreases could be misinterpreted as operating efficiencies or inefficiencies. Each decision-making situation should be carefully analyzed in deciding whether absorption or variable costing reporting would be more useful. All costs are controllable in the long run by someone within a business. For a given level of management, costs may be controllable costs or noncontrollable costs.
