Extracted text: Mary commenced business in January 2019, manufacturing a single product. At the end of 2019 she calculated her profit using the absorption costing method and was pleased with the profits that were realised. However, she recently read that preparation of the income statement according to the marginal costing method would be more beneficial to her. She also learnt that if there are opening or closing inventories, then the profits calculated using the two methods would be different.
